Hillingdon Arts Assoc.

The Hillingdon Arts Association (HAA) is here to foster ART and help all those involved with ART in any way, including MUSIC, DRAMATIC ART, VISUAL ARTS & CRAFTS, and many others.

Entering Event Details

Now that things are beginning to get back to normal, you may be planning your next event.
If so you can enter events on this Website."
The Events List shown here is more than publicity for your event - it is also a most useful 'Clearing House' for events.
If you are planning an event you can look at this list to make sure there is not another similar event already planned for that date.
Get your event listed here as soon as you can to show other societies that the date is already in use.(If you later on find that changes have to be made, then you or your officer who has registered as a 'User' can easily do this.)

TRUSTEES

For all Trustees of the HAA.
There are a number of pages on this website which contain important messages for, information for, items to download for Trustees.
These can only be seen by Trustees, who need to sign up and log in.
To sign up go to 'Membership' -> 'Sign up as a User, etc.'
If you have logged in as something else, then you should 'Log Out' and then 'log In' as a trustee.

ALL SOCIETIES

Including groups, clubs, charities, etc. all members of the HAA, are asked for a membershiip fee of £20 per year.
NOT £12 which is for Individual Members who have opted for Full Membership.
Unfortunately an Email intended only for Individuals, was sent to everybody on my mailing list.
My sincere apologies for this. if your society has paid £12 then I must ask you to kindly send another £8. You can see details of Invoices and payments by going to `Membership` at the top of the page and selecting `Fees - Your account`

ARTS GRANTS

The Council allocation for 2021/2022 is largely unused due to there being little to no activity by Societies. All groups are having to push hard to attract audiences after the pandemic, whether for Art, Music or Theatre so consider extra publicity costs and new venue charges when making your Application.
The total the council allocate in the year is based on the take up the previous year, so keep those applications coming.
The Council website is not as friendly as it might be so we suggest you draft out the answers to the questions using the HAA sample application form, and when you are happy with them go to the council application form on the Council Website. The Council will NOT ACCEPT the HAA version of the form.
For more information select 'AWARDS & GRANTS' above -> 'Grants' ->

The What`s On Leaflet

Because of the Covid Crisis most Events had to be cancelled.
So the publication of the What`s On leaflet was suspended
The Listings and Entering your Event pages have both remained open. Now that things are beginning to return to normal many of our member groups will be starting to make plans for their next event. They should enter their event as soon as possible on our listings.
We will resume publication as soon as sufficient entries have been made. In the meantime .
You can still print a cut-down version of the leaflet yourself .

Sculptural Hillingdon is a free booklet published by the HAA.
It is a guide to 14 of the sculptures and other interesting sites you can see in this borough.
Although it is now out of print you can see the pages by either clicking the image above or going to 'News & Views' at the top of this page and selecting 'Sculptural Booklet'
A new version is being prepared, so if you know of any sculptures in this area, please contact us.
