The Masonic Hall, 25 Wrotham Road, DA11 0PA

The Arts Society Gravesend was formed so that people who enjoy learning about all aspects of the arts could get together and hear high quality lectures given by experts in their chosen field. Today, 32 years on from that first meeting, we still aim to inform and inspire our members with talks on subjects as diverse as the fine arts, sculpture, photography, architecture, jewellery, ceramics, glassware, textiles, dance, music and so much more - the list is endless!
