“A supportive creative community for visual arts and artists”

ASOC OBJECTIVES

To:
· develop skills, knowledge and understanding of the visual arts;
· maintain a supportive and vibrant community amongst its members;
· provide relevant information about events and activities in the visual arts;
· organise activities for doing art in a supportive group setting;
· organise exhibitions to display members’ art; and
· support and promote the practice of the visual arts in the ACT and · region. ASOC is a community of approximately 200 members who have been meeting to share their ideas, enthusiasm and inspiration for more than 83 years – that is an awful lot of knowledge and experience to share. We meet on a monthly basis, organise a Summer Art Experience (a week of art under expert tuition), as well as exhibitions, workshops, and regular classes throughout the year which are open to members and non-members. Come along as a guest, or join us – we are a friendly society, always ready to welcome new members. We offer local and distant membership – for those too far away to attend regular meetings and events. There is always a lot happening and a lot of support for those who wish to develop their skills and knowledge further or just meet with like-minded people. We cater for those over 18 years of age from the novice, those returning to art after a period of absence, those who need a confidence boost to those who are emerging artists. Some of our members are professional artists who offer classes and workshops to share their skills and knowledge. Membership Information: http://www.asoc.net.au/4456/About-ASOC/Membership/
