Exhibitions

This retrospective exhibition showcases a collection of still life paintings created directly from life, featuring familiar objects and seasonal blooms gathered from Joan's own garden and nature. These intimate arrangements are grounded in personal memory and a deep appreciation for the quiet beauty of everyday moments.

The highlight of the Victorian Artists Society's exhibition calendar sees peer-voted finalists across three Seasonal Select exhibitions present works for consideration in the $17,000 Hylton Mackley Artist of the Year Award.

Running concurrently with the Hylton Mackley Artist of the Year exhibition, VAS Selects celebrates the exceptional breadth and quality of art at VAS throughout 2025.

This festive showcase celebrates small and affordable artworks perfect for holiday gifting. The exhibition will be held at the Cato Gallery from December 10, 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.

An exhibition from the Hansen Little Coterie 2025 resident artists: Jemma Cakebread, Madaline Harris-Schober, Jennifer Huang, Caterina Leone, Andrew Li, and Swathi Madike.

The VAS is proud to showcase the range of artistic endeavours and mediums that continue to be taught and practiced in the historic VAS Studio.
