Art Shows

ST GEORGE ART SOCIETY exhibits members’ artworks at a variety of venues and at various times during the year. 

The Members’ Annual Art Show is the major event of the St. George Art Society’s calendar, providing an opportunity for members to showcase their artwork and share experiences, friendship and camaraderie.  The Annual Art Show continues the Society’s long running association with the fund-raising Lamrock Committee of St George Public Hospital.    

There are opportunities throughout the year for members to exhibit their artwork at local artisan markets and other art shows, including the Art of Sydney, run by the Combined Art Societies of Sydney, of which SGAS is a member.

A member of the art society donates an artwork which is the raffle prize to raise funds for the Lamrock Committee of the St George Public Hospital. The Show continues Saturday and Sunday, opening for free admission 10am until 4pm on both days.
