History

---

The Salisbury Society began way back in 1979.

Nearly 45 years later, we still stand for "fostering the arts in the Salisbury area, with emphasis on embracing all art mediums.

The Society became an incorporated body with its Constitution in 1986, also taking part in the Jubilee 150 Celebrations that year.

​

For many years, the Society struggled to find a permanent home, finding temporary placements in Church halls, School rooms and Kindergardens, as well as private homes. We finally settled in the Salisbury Institute on 4 May 1982 where we remained for over 40 years

Then in 2024 we welcomed in a new era with our move to the Salisbury East Neighbourhood Centre.
