Chelsea Arts Club is a private members' club at 143 Old Church Street in Chelsea, London with a membership of over 4,000, including artists, sculptors, architects, writers, designers, actors, musicians, photographers, and filmmakers.

During its primary events season from September to April, Chelsea Arts Club serves as a host for many functions, from instrumental and choral performances to film nights, literary talks and weekend artist lunches.

From 1908 to 1958 the club held a series of public fancy dress balls at the Albert Hall, latterly on New Year's Eve, which raised funds for artists' charities.

[3] In 1958, balls were banned from the Albert Hall owing to their notoriety for rowdiness, nudity and public homosexuality (illegal before 1967).

[4][5] Subsequently, private functions were held at the club instead, with similarly lavish decorations and themes.
