Demonstrations

Monthly demonstrations are held at Kogarah School of Arts Hall, Kogarah on the third Thursday of each month and start at 6:30pm.

SGAS invite a professional artist to paint an artwork of their choosing.  Each invited Artist demonstrates their skills and expertise in producing artwork in their usual style and medium, providing the audience with invaluable hints and inspiration.

The cost to attend these very worthwhile demonstrations is just $10 for members and $15 for non-members.

Demonstration with Vicki Tara Taylor

Thursday, 19th October, 2023

This demonstration was given by Vicki Tara Taylor who is an intuitive abstract artist.  She shared her secrets on how she creates her textured and colourful artworks.

Vicki’s bubbly personality shines through in her colourful pieces using anything from a piece of string to a toothbrush, and beyond. Vicki’s works are all about mark making and enjoying spontaneity.

Such an enjoyable evening many thanks to Vicki.
