Events

Exhibitions

In addition to special exhibitions organised by the Society, they also have their own Gallery, The De Haan Gallery which was named after former member John De Haan, a member of the Bankstown Art Society for over a quarter of a century. Fellow-members remember his generosity, especially the sharing of his artistic experience.

The Society’s aim to set up a permanent gallery was a project dear to John’s heart and when he died suddenly in 1993 the members unanimously decided to name the gallery the “De Haan Gallery”.  In recent years they have been honoured to have Daryl Melham as their gallery patron.

The group also participates in events organised by the Combined Arts Societies of Sydney.  For information on their upcoming events visit; https://combinedartsocieties.com/
