MEETINGS

ART ACTIVITIES AND ART EXHIBITIONS
The workshops and demonstrations provide an opportunity for instruction and advice by fellow members in the various forms of painting. As a Society, the members share ideas freely, can seek advice and share a common enjoyment in art. The highlight of the year is its Annual Art Show held in May. All members regardless of ability are encouraged to display their works at the Show. The Art Society also runs a display through December.
Diane Hodson - Artist of the Month
Majoring in art at Burwood Teacher's College began Diane's passion for art, particularly painting. As a primary school teacher art became an important part of the classroom. She later became an art and craft teacher in schools.
After leaving Melbourne to live in Queensland the vibrant tropical colours influenced Diane's art. Using acrylic paint Diane's subjects ranged from tropical fish, sea scapes to landscapes. Later after living on St Helena Island in Moreton Bay subjects also included landscapes of the old penal colony on the island and island life.
Diane returned to Melbourne and after settling in Sunbury joined the Sunbury Art Society. She continues to use colour to express her impressions of landscapes, sea scapes, boats and people in acrylics.
She was a committee member in 2007/8 and president in 2008/9.
She has already had considerable success in most of her Open Art Shows where she has entered works, having won several High Commendations.
ACTIVITIES
The Society and members meet several times a year for social activities. These include the Annual Dinner in July, Society BBQ on the first Tuesday meeting night, Melbourne Cup Lunch and Christmas Dinner. Some of the members also get together regularly for a night out at a restaurant, local theatre etc.
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP
The Society has a general membership of some 75 members. All members are encouraged to contribute to the activities of the Society whether it be on committee, organizing the Art Shows, putting up road signs, preparing the syllabus, manning the sales desk, running workshops or demonstrating painting techniques - there is a task for every member.
The Society is always encouraging new membership. Prospective members are encouraged to attend for several weeks before making application in order that they know what they are getting into before making any commitment. Membership is subject to nomination and approval by committee.
