Group Information
The St George Art Society (SGAS) was formed in 1944 to encourage and develop the practice of art and art appreciation in the St George district. At that time, the Society’s formation members knew of no other similar body in the State of New South Wales.
In the early years membership was restricted and selective. Prospective members were required to submit at least two paintings to be judged by a membership selection committee. Now, membership of the Society is open to all artists and anyone interested in art. The Society is now less ‘inclusive’ and more ‘innovative’ in its approach to membership as well as the practice of art.
