Lane Cove Art Society
The aim of the Lane Cove Art Society is 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.
The Lane Cove Art Society meets on the 4th TUESDAY of every month (except January and December). The meetings open at 7:00 pm with time to meet and talk prior to the meeting getting underway.
At each meeting, there is a demonstration or talk by a well-known artist or guest speaker. Anyone interested in art is welcome to attend – the demonstration commences at about 7:30 pm and lasts up to 90 minutes.
Meetings are held at the LANE COVE SPORTING CLUB aka ‘THE DIDDY’. Corner Kenneth Street and River Road, Longueville
The Lane Cove Art Society also holds two exhibitions yearly as well as workshops, visits to galleries or artists’ studios, and mini-exhibitions for members.
