Group Information
For over 53 years, painters and potters, sculptors and artists of all types have created, learned and laughed together at the Diamond Valley Arts Society.
We have moved around a bit and recently were based at Greensborough Secondary College. Due to a change in circumstances, we are now operating from the Edendale Community Environment Farm.
Oil painting tutor and archivist Kerry Maher said the society was formed in 1970 by local artists, including Ron Reynolds, Digby Watson, Murray Pulford, and Roland and Maria Schultz.
