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.

Thursday painting is always creatively busy, with lots of fun and laughter, and of course sharing our painting journeys. Monthly Demonstrations have been interesting and instructive – there’s only November’s still to be held this year – and we have more great professional artists booked for 2025 – see details under “Monthly Demonstrations”. Portrait Group is always popular, as are the bi-monthly In-House Demonstrations held on a Thursday by our own members. These activities recommence after we are all back to Thursday painting on January 9. Our end-of-year BBQ for members and partners is on Saturday December 7 at the Old Cheese Factory, and the last Thursday painting day for 2024 will be December 12, more of a party really. Thank you to everyone who contributed and enjoyed a great year here at BAS; we wish you a safe and happy Festive Season and a wonderful 2025.
