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.

Welcome 2024! 2023 was an enjoyable and successful year at Berwick Artists Society, we welcomed many new members and now they’re part of our community and producing some wonderful works. The exhibition we held mid-year at Cranbourne Library was very well received and we are now working towards this year’s exhibition there. We have recently had works displayed on the Bunjil Place Art Wall, The Thursday Painting resumed in January, and we have some wonderful demonstrators already booked to visit us monthly – see details under “Monthly Demonstrations”. We recently lost one of our founding members, past President and Life Member Tony Purcell – his legacy lives on within our Society and his input is sadly missed. Rest easy Tony, and keep on painting those clouds up there.
