MURAL AT THE GOONAWARRA NURSING HOME
APRIL 2011
The Sunbury Art Society was formed in November 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 celebratory
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. |
