About the SocietyThe Society's objectiveThe Society was formed in 1996 by a group of twenty-five founding members, now expanded to over a hundred, with a clear objective:
"To support the
interests
of members
by promoting maritime and marine art in Australia." Who are the members?We are a National organisation, with a broad and inclusive definition to allow a rich mixture of expertise and interests. Our members range from part-time hobbyists to internationally-recognised artists, and include:
Styles range from traditional to modern, realistic to abstract. Subjects include pleasure boating, yacht racing, commercial shipping, maritime history, marinescapes and reefscapes. The Gallery pages show the range and depth of experience of the membership. We also welcome historians, students and other maritime organisations. We have members based in all Australian states, with a Vice-President representing each state, as well as overseas members. ActivitiesThe Society arranges at least one major Exhibition each year to which members may submit work. Newsletters are distributed four to six times a year, and typically include published articles written by members, notification of upcoming art shows, and general society news. Local state-based meetings are encouraged, where members share their skills and interests. Each year it is within the gift of the President to award the Society's medal - see Who's Who for the current medal-holders. |
