Testimonials from Members

Sir Peter Blake

I am delighted that The Arts Club and University of the Arts London are collaborating on what will be a wonderful and obvious partnership - London's club for a community of friends who love the arts!

I am very fortunate to have many friends associated with the remarkable Colleges of University of the Arts London. They include students and staff; artists and designers of every age and practice; people who have creative businesses; and many others who simply enjoy the arts.

Like no other city in the world, London offers such a rich variety of people, organisations and activities connected with all aspects of the arts. The Arts Club is a hidden treasure that unites it all - a welcoming place where friends can meet and enjoy their shared interests.

I do hope you will consider becoming a member and I look forward to welcoming you to The Arts Club on a future visit.
