Berwick Artists Society
About Berwick Artists Society
Berwick Artists Society Inc. was formed in 1992 by a group of local artists keen to share their passion of the visual arts.
Our purpose is to provide an environment which encourages local emerging, professional and hobby artists, and members of the public to network, develop their skills and contribute to art within the community.
The Society has grown to become one of the major art societies in the City of Casey and the surrounding Southeast region.
Painting demonstrations, workshops and exhibitions are held in the Function Room at the historic Old Cheese Factory, 34 Homestead Road, Berwick, throughout the year, with the exception of public and Christmas holidays.
We have monthly demonstrations by visiting professional artists and everyone is invited to attend. Please see the link for upcoming artists and entry fees.
Our Mission Statement: The mission of the Berwick Artists Society is to foster all forms of visual art by offering attractive and beneficial activities that will enhance artistic knowledge, skills and opportunities within a mutually supportive and strong social environment.
News
There’s always something interesting happening at Berwick Artists Society. Thursday painting is full of fun – visitors are always welcome to come along between 10am and 2pm, have a coffee and see what we’re up to. We’ve enjoyed some wonderful Wednesday daytime demonstrations by professional artist; recently Leticia Hodson, Vivi Palegeorge and Linda Robertson each showed us their very different skills. There’s nothing quite like a live demonstration where questions can be asked and answered on the spot, and visitors are most welcome too. Our regular Portrait days and In-house Demonstrations are popular, and we’re looking forward to the annual Members’ Exhibition and Sale of Works at Cranbourne Library from September 22nd for three weeks. Come and meet some of us and see what our talented artists produce!
Vivi Palegeorge showed us her watercolour skills in June
In July, Linda Robertson educated us in the finer points of portraiture.
