Shoalhaven Art Society
Celebrating the creative talent of Shoalhaven Artists
Reconnecting with our Art Community
2020 has been an extremely difficult year for the Shoalhaven Region and we as an Art community are definitely feeling the struggle. That is why, whilst our annual Open Art Exhibition has been postponed till next year, we are looking at ways to keep the connection going through more workshops and Artist talks/demo's.
A message from our Committee regarding the 55th Annual Open Art Exhibition
With much deliberation, the Shoalhaven Art Society Committee has made the decision to postpone our 55th Open Annual Art Exhibition. The exhibition was due to be held in August 2020 and has been postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions surrounding gatherings.
We look forward to presenting the 55th OAE in October 2021 at the Shoalhaven Regional Gallery.
We thank our sponsors and Shoalhaven Regional Gallery for their continued partnership.
The exhibition terms for the 55th OAE will include artworks created in the 24 months prior to the 55th OAE. We look forward to exhibiting these works.
Shoalhaven Art Society will be running a series of small workshops in July and August. See detail under Workshops section here on the website.
