Oatley 101 Society of Artists Inc.
The Oatley 101
Society of Artists Inc. was inaugurated in October 1997 under the name
Gallery 101
Association by six artists for the initial purpose of
holding a monthly 'gallery' at which local artists
would be invited to
exhibit their work.
After several 'gallery' weekends and many enquiries from the public the
artists moved to include other
activities at the venue such as - art classes in oil painting, drawing, watercolour, monthly workshops,
plus a Life Drawing Group.
In October 1998 the Gallery 101 Association became Incorporated and
opened its membership and by
the end of 1999, with over 90 financial
members, the committee sought for the organisation to become
a member
of the Combined Art Societies of Sydney.
In 2000 Gallery 101 Association officially changed its name to -
Oatley 101 Society of Artists Inc.
The Society now has a membership of
over 160 and is continuing to grow.
