Exhibition calendar

QAS holds eleven exhibitions a year, some of which are open competitions, and the remainder are for members only. Running alongside the exhibition is the Member Art Profile, which highlights the work of a particular QAS member each month. Please note that the exhibition calendar is, from time to time, updated. Members are informed of changes in advance via the newsletter and this website.

Entry fee (per entry): Non-members $20, Members $10, Gallery painters $5, Gallery Sitters $5.

August / October theme swap - In consultation with the sponsor of the August exhibition, The Queanbeyan Leagues Club, the themes for August and October have been swapped. This will allow members a wider diversity of themes for the sponsored exhibition. 

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
