Exhibitions

The AGRA 50th Anniversary Exhibition offers more than $5000 worth of prizes including collectable works by historic founding artists such as Kenneth Jack and Kath Ballard and is open to full members. The guild was formed 50 years ago by founders which include eight-times Archibald winner Sir William Dargie.

The Kenneth Jack Memorial Drawing Award is part of the AGRA 50th Anniversary Exhibition and honours the legacy of Kenneth Jack who helped create the Australian Guild of Realist Artists.

The beloved exhibition formerly known as Little Treasures returns with a fresh twist as the Christmas Salon! This festive showcase celebrates small and affordable artworks perfect for holiday gifting. The exhibition will be held at the Cato Gallery from December 11, inviting art lovers to explore a curated selection of unique creations by VAS artists. Unlike other exhibitions, works can be taken at the time of purchase for easy gifting.

The "Here, There" art exhibition is a compelling initiative aimed at showcasing the diverse artistic talents of youth from the 7 Seasons Art Studio while highlighting the cultural richness of Victoria, Australia.

This exhibition showcases the range of artistic practices and mediums that are taught at the VAS Art Studio. Encompassing oil, watercolour, pastel, drawing, acrylic, gouache and sculpture, both students and teachers works on show will reveal the diversity and creativity within the school.

This exhibition showcases the work of the five 2024 VAS Hansen Little Coterie participants during their residency. This program is generously sponsored by the Hansen Little Foundation.
