Artists Rifles Association

The Artists Rifles Association exists to maintain and promote the traditions, name and esprit de corps of the Artists Rifles and to promote the well-being of those (and the next-of-kin of those) who have served in:

• The Artists Rifle Regiment, or
• No.163 Officer Cadet Training Unit, or
• any of their predecessor regiments, or
• any regiment with an (Artists) suffix.

It arranges social activities for its members and also supports the regimental museum.

In January 2007, there were approximately one thousand members in the Artists Rifles Association.
