Victorian Artists Society

#melbournetrip Excellent art exhibitions and openings. The range and quality of the art is compelling and they showcase paintings and drawings of a fairly wide variety of media and genres, including digital graphics, as well as sculptures and occasional installations. An inclusive and diverse atmosphere, this society has evolved over time and kept pace with technology. The team here have done a great job fundraising and Richard has taken up leadership with an excellent predecessor in Eileen. The heritage-listed gallery has in recent years undergone intensive restoration and upgrade with thanks to private, as well as public, funding. Staying true to the historical significance of the building whilst modernising it to greatly improve the amenities, it now includes a lift for greater access, mobility and inclusion of more diverse visitors. Dame Nellie Melba taught students singing here and oft stood on the balcony to perform to crowds who gathered on the footpath below. It is a pleasure to be part of this community and enjoy the works of both local and international artists, of which we can't help but be immensely proud of. The real sweetener at this gallery is no entry fee but becoming a member has its rewards not the least of which is being part of this community. Or you can donate to support the importance of art as a healing activity.
