The Art Society Africa was founded in 2011 with the objective of promoting the art and practice of painting in all media to complement the Watercolour Society Africa (which was founded in 1975).

The Societies operate their own gallery - Manor Gallery - where regular exhibitions of WSA and ASA members' works are held.

All artists, from beginners to professionals, are invited to join either one or both of these societies. Membership benefits include

Exhibition opportunities

Access to tuition and advice

Encouragement and support

Information and Networking

Achievement goals and awards

Interaction with like-minded people

Regular newsletters

All artists join as Ordinary Members, and may enter exhibitions to earn acceptance points towards New Signature, Associate, and Higher Associate status.
