Society History
The society was created in 1968 at the behest of the New Town Development Corporation and was originally called the Artists' Co-operative when conceived by a group of Stevenage painters.
The aim of the Corporation and these painters was of "Fostering the Arts in Stevenage".
The society remains a totally amateur, non-political and democratic organization run by an annually elected executive committee.
To ensure its financial protection the society has formed a non-profit company limited by guarantee, hence Stevenage Arts Society Ltd.
