The Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society was formed in London in 1887 to promote the exhibition of decorative arts alongside fine arts. The Society's exhibitions were held annually at the New Gallery from 1888 to 1890, and roughly every three years thereafter,[1][2] were important in the flowering of the British Arts and Crafts Movement in the decades prior to World War I.
