Group Information
The Oatley 101 Society of Artists Inc. was inaugurated in October 1997 by six artists for the initial purpose of holding a monthly ‘gallery’ at which local artists would be invited to exhibit their work. It was named Gallery 101 Association.
In October 1998, the Gallery 101 Association became incorporated to meet the demands of the public and included Children’s Art Classes, Monthly Workshops, Demonstrations and a Life Drawing Group.
In 2000 the Association became the Oatley 101 Society of Artists Inc and now has approximately 180 members and continues to grow to meet the needs of artists in our community.
We were extremely proud, when in 2017, our Society won the Mark Coure MP, St George Community Award, which recognizes outstanding individuals and organisations in the St. George Area.
Oatley 101 Society of Artists is a Life Member of the Combined Art Societies of Sydney.
