The Sunbury Art Society Inc.
The Sunbury Art Society was formed in 1985 and is now one of the larger Art Societies within Victoria with a membership of some 70+ members.
Every year it has exhibited its Annual Art Show in May at Craiglea Winery (first 12 years) and the remaining (excepting 2009 at Emu Bottom) at the Boilerhouse Jacksons Hill Sunbury. Since 2002 the Society has also held a Summer Show.
The Society is a very friendly and active society, meeting twice weekly on Friday and Saturday between 10pm and 4pm at the Boilerhouse Jacksons Hill Sunbury. These meetings include painting in a group atmosphere, members lending assistance to fellow members, running workshops and demos, developing friendships and enjoying lunch together on the Saturday.
The Society is also by inference a "social" club. Annually the Society celebrates Christmas Dinner, Melbourne Cup Day Sweep lunch, Annual Dinner at a local restaurant, a celebatory supper after the Annual Art Show and a get together barbecue when the Society resumes in the new year. In addition some members will organise Theatre nights or just go to a local concert and others will get serious and organise a paintout. |
