ABOUT US

Sherbrooke Art Society was founded in 1966 at the instigation of well-known artist, Jack Montgomery. It moved to its present site in 1971 and is now one of the very few art societies to own its gallery.

The Sherbrooke Art Society Gallery, nestled in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges at 62 Monbulk Road, Belgrave, is in the typical hills-cottage style, an historically important building formerly known as the Red Mill Cafe. Today it has a constantly changing display of some 300 works of art for sale.

Local commercial sponsorships support the renowned
Streeton, Roberts, McCubbin Awards Exhibition
Spring Exhibition
Youth Awards Exhibition
and other various awards established from the earliest days and continuing to this day.
