Did you know that Lane Cove has a very active arts community? Not many suburbs have their own art gallery!! In addition to Gallery Lane Cove, there is the Lane Cove Art Society.
Lane Cove Art Society
The Lane Cove Art Society aims to encourage, recognise and reward artistic talent in the community. They warmly welcome new members – all you need to have is an interest in art.
Before COVID19 the Lane Cove Art Society meets at 8 pm on the 4th Tuesday of every month (except January and December). The meetings are held on the Lower Ground Floor, Lane Cove Living and Learning Centre, 164 Longueville Road. At each meeting, there is a demonstration or talk by a leading artist or guest speaker, and anyone interested in art is welcome to attend.
