The first National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts (NADFAS) was started in 1965 by our founder Patricia Fay.   In 1968 the national organization was formed, becoming a charity in 1972.   Some 40 years later our core aims remain the same – arts education and heritage conservation.
NADFAS now has more than 90,000 members

• Over 340 societies in the UK

• The Australian Association of ADFAS has more than 30 societies

Interest in the fine arts has a huge following among expatriates in southern Spain.   This interest has led to the creation of  societies in Fuengirola, Nerja, San Roque and Gibraltar.
