Group Information
The Busselton Art Society has been serving artists and the people of Busselton for over 59 years.
Art Society members work in a variety of styles and media and their experience ranges from professional artists who have exhibited in many parts of Australia to those just starting out on their artistic journey.
While many of members have their own studios or work spaces at home, they also enjoy being able to work together in their clubroom in former police sergeant's quarters at Artgeo Cultural Complex.
