The Mackay Art Society was formed in 1964 with an approximate membership of 25 artists.

The Society became incorporated in 1991 and has since grown to a membership of approx. 120 and is still growing.

In 1996 we opened our own Visual Art Centre. The Art centre is the hub of our activities, which includes meetings, workshops and exhibitions.

The Objectives of the Mackay Art Society are:

To promote, foster and practise the fine art of painting and kindred arts at such times as the Association is able to do so.

• To promote public awareness, knowledge and appreciation of art
• To provide opportunities for the practice and presentation of art
• To pursue a standard of excellence in respect of all objects and activities of the Association
