COMMUNICATIONS

The smooth running of Area communications is crucial to helping support local Societies.

The communications released by Area Support Teams (AST) should, where appropriate, reflect key messages from the Centre, as well as inspire and support Societies using local insights and experiences relevant to that Area.

Central Communications

When planning and preparing Area communications it is important to consider the central communications issued by the team at the Centre.

The Arts Society Magazine

The Arts Society Magazine is sent to all Members three times a year; in spring, summer and winter. It includes exclusive features and interviews, news and opinions from the arts world, as well as Societies’ news stories and details of upcoming Area study days and courses.

This is The Arts Society’s primary means of communicating directly with Members.

The Arts Society Website

The website (theartssociety.org) features news stories and arts features which are shared in the Monthly Highlights e-newsletter and on social media.

All Societies have a web page, which they can populate with key information, as well as an image gallery, events listings and news section e.g. https://theartssociety.org/guildford. Some Societies use the pages instead of a website, others have a website as well.

Upcoming Area study days and courses are currently listed here: theartssociety.org/study-days-and-courses and shared in the Monthly Highlights e-newsletter each month.

The Resources and Training areas of the website should be the first port of call for guidance documents and updates from the centre. These documents are also shared in the Bulletin which goes to all Society and AST members. A password is needed to access this restricted part of the website, but all Committee Members may have access. Please contact membership@theartssociety.org if you do not have a login.
