Arts Society

This society aims to provide Mertonians with both a space and the materials necessary to carry out artistic projects and activities. It is open to absolutely everybody, regardless of artistic abilities. Whether you're a beginner interested in trying things out, or whether you've already got some experience and want to keep up your skills, everyone is welcome! Each week a different activity is organised, although these are in no way obligatory and students are free to make use of the supplied materials for their own personal projects. Teaching is also possible, insofar as people can share their skills with each other. Suggestions for future events, no matter how unusual, are most welcome! Finally, thanks to JCR funding, all activities are free of charge to students.
