Critiques
Critiques are held on the 1st Thursday of the month at the Georges River 16ft Sailing Club, Sandringham. The critique is hosted by a guest artist who will view the artwork of members and in return give constructive advice. They will also choose the “Artwork of the Month”.
The St. George Art Society greatly appreciates the support of the Georges River 16ft Sailing Club in generously providing The Spinnaker Room to conduct our Critiques and our Social Art Group meetings.
