The Naracoorte Regional Art Gallery has welcomed the South East Art Society to hold an exhibition in their main gallery this year, a fabulous opportunity for us to make ourselves known more broadly in the south east of the state.

We have chosen the title, “Somewhere I’ve Been” as this presents a wide range of potential subjects. This can be anything from travel to another country, the comfy chair in your living room, or to a place in your imagination; maybe going fishing or walking in the local park; perhaps spending time with family or friends.

Basically, a celebration of place.

Heads up for an event to be hosted by the Naracoorte Art Gallery in November.

Mini-scapes featuring scenes of the Naracoorte and Lucindale council region, 2D and no bigger than 40cm.

Checkout our Social Events page for details on the upcoming event to be hosted by Margaret Carter, featuring photos and information on her recent holiday to Canada and Alaska. If you’ve wanted to go and weren’t sure where to go or what to do and see, this will be for you.

Keep an eye out on our Workshops page. We have several events scheduled for the remainder of the year.

This includes an oil painting class with Gerard that is currently under way and with spaces to fill. The weekend of the 25th and 26th of July has a watercolour and ink class, hosted by Robin Hicks, held over both days.

In August we have a stained glass workshop planned and an acrylic painting workshop booked for mid October. More ideas in the pipeline.

The South East Art Society AGM will be held on Sunday the 23rd of August at 10:30am. All committee roles/positions will be open.

We will be meeting at the Mount Gambier Public Library with the regular committee meeting to follow.

Please make every effort to attend and don’t forget to renew your membership in the meantime.

Memberships for the 2026/2027 financial year are now due.

These have been increased a little on previous years with single memberships now $50 and family memberships at $70.

You can renew your membership/become a member online via this website, or email us for a form to fill out. Alternatively, call in at the Stables on a Wednesday between 10am and 2pm to collect/complete your membership form.

A digital art exhibition by Amaya.

To celebrate Amaya’s incredible art journey, Amaya’s family are inviting SEAS members to a special gathering :

Date: Sunday, 8th February
Time: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM

This is a wonderful opportunity to support Amaya and enjoy her creative work. Please mark your calendars and feel free to bring along anyone who appreciates art!

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Nita von Stanke’s exhibition, “Beyond the Canvas” has opened at the Port Macdonnell Community Centre. The event was very well attended with many pieces selling on the day.

If you haven’t already been, do yourself a favour and get down there for a look. It’s a fabulous display of artworks across several mediums and a variety of themes. Absolutely fabulous!

A reminder to all about an exhibition by member Nita von Stanke, being held at the Port Macdonnell Community Complex, from the 6th of December this year. The exhibition will run until the 29th of January in 2026.
