The Arts Society Oxford (TASO) is a two session Society. This means our lecture programme is repeated by running it once in the morning and then again in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Lectures are held monthly from September to June, usually on the second Wednesday of each month at Magdalen College.\u00a0 The morning lecture starts at 11 am and the afternoon lecture at 2 pm.\u00a0 We have coffee and tea available before each lecture.<\/p>\n

You join TASO as either a morning member or an afternoon member.\u00a0Because of the limited number of seats in the lecture hall, we cannot accommodate members who wish to switch morning \/ afternoon for individual lectures, except in exceptional circumstances agreed in advance with our Membership Secretary.<\/p>\n

Our subscription year runs from September. Membership for 2025\/26 is \u00a355.\u00a0 If you use internet or telephone banking, your subscription can be paid by direct bank transfer.\u00a0 This helps TASO as it saves bank charges. TASO is a registered charity and it helps the Society if you are able and willing to sign a Gift Aid declaration. You can do this if you are a UK taxpayer.<\/p>\n

TASO members automatically become members of the national organisation, The Arts Society, and receive the quarterly magazine, where national and regional study days and trips are advertised, along with feature articles on arts-related topics.<\/p>\n

In addition to the lecture programme and social events, TASO also offers visits<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0 study days<\/span><\/a> and Wyvern Area study days<\/span><\/a>. Extra charges apply for these additional events.<\/p>\n

Our aim is to run an active, stimulating and sociable arts society.<\/p>\n
