ENRICHING LIVES THROUGH THE ARTS

Our Home Page Banner Images

We freshen our web site images from time to time by changing the banner images at the top of each page. These images are also employed in our members newsletters and some of our promotional literature.

2024-2025 - Alex Haxton

Tom Holland, a local contemporary artist, gave us permission to use one of his artworks.

The Arts Society Falmouth and Tom’s collaboration is an excellent example of how we engage with our neighbourhood in the promotion of all the arts.

Landscape has been at the centre of Cornish art since the 19th century; Tom’s painting respects that tradition but updates it for the 21st century.

Queen Mary Gardens, Gyllyngvase, Falmouth, was chosen because it communicates not only a sense of place but also how we see ourselves – at the heart of a vibrant, creative community.

2017- The Arts Society Branding Exercise

The Arts Society became the new branding for what was originally referred to as NADFAS. Part of this branding exercise resulted in the now familiar logo. This logo gave consistency across all the national societies. Individual identity of societies could be achieved by super imposing this logo a on relevant local images. At this time again we ran a competition inviting people to submit images and vote on a suitable image to represent The Arts Society Falmouth. The image provided by Helen Syrett was chosen and became our first home page. The original picture is shown below.
