Group Information
The Trigg Art Club was the first art club to be formed North of the Swan River in Perth.
In 1969 Lola McCue and a group of like-minded local artists decided to form a club and exhibit some of their art. Lola's husband Tom McCue was the clubs first President.
The first art exhibition was held in the Old Surf Club Hall. The McCue's and other club members had children in the TISLSC and the decision was made to donate the profits from the art club's exhibitions to the surf club to help purchase equipment needed to train surf club members. 48 years later and this is still the objective of the art club.
