Gallery Society

The Gallery Society forms an integral part of the social life of the Gallery. It aims to stimulate wide community interest and involvement in the Gallery.Throughout the year the Society arranges lectures and films on the visual arts, special previews of exhibitions and visits to other galleries and collections for its members. Gallery Society membership is open to all members of the public, and is a great way to enhance your Gallery experience.

Since 1970, the Society has published the magazine Artemis, which provides an informative digest of exhibitions, acquisitions and people involved in the visual arts.Through fundraising and income from events, the Gallery Society is able to provide support for Gallery programs.

The Gallery Society offers a range of membership options from Individual annual membership for $35 through to Family Life Membership (see membership form for details).
