Who you’ll meet
at the club
One of the most celebrated benefits of belonging to the Arts & Letters Club is the continual, convivial and always changing interaction between members.
Meeting together at 14 Elm Street fosters artistic vision, learning, understanding and growth.
Over half of Arts & Letters Club members are professionals with careers in the creative or performing arts.
Many others, meanwhile, are enthusiasts whose lives are enriched through active appreciation of the arts and who enjoy being involved in the artistic community.
All club activities support the traditional disciplines of Literature, Architecture, Music, Painting and Stage arts, which we refer to as LAMPS.
However, an ever-expanding list of creative fields is also emerging and evolving within the club.
These areas of expertise include digital photography, dance, film, radio, TV, journalism, poetry, graphic novels, library and information sciences, interior design, illustration, computer graphics, editing and publishing, advertising, public relations, and much more.
