The Association has as its objects "The promotion and advancement of the aesthetic education of the public, the cultivation, appreciation and study of the decorative and fine arts, and the giving of aid to the preservation of our national artistic heritage for the benefit of the public": Our aim is to LEARN about the decorative and fine arts; to GIVE by joining a local Church Recording Group, Heritage Volunteers or helping with a Young Arts group, to STUDY by taking part in study days and to experience FRIENDSHIP through our shared interests. The joy of learning and the knowledge that the volunteer activities are repaying the Arts for some of the enjoyment members are experienced creates a warm bond whenever NADFAS members meet. NADFAS is a world-wide association based on a love of the Arts and a sense of comradeship founded on a shared journey of discovery. Our founder, Patricia Fay, said "ABOVE ALL, NADFAS MUST BE FUN".
