Artists by Artists: Monthly Portrait Sessions

  • Sunday 27 September 2026 | 12:00 AM - Sunday 29 November 2026 | 11:59 PM

Last Sunday every month | 1 pm – 4:30 pm

Anne Smerdon hosts monthly long-format portrait painting sessions. These untutored sessions provide a relaxed environment for participants to work from life in the company of other artists. To celebrate the Gallery’s collection exhibition Mirror-view: Artists by Artists, your sitter will be an artist from our region.

Each session includes a 3-hour long pose. Artists bring their own materials and can book and pay for each session separately but be quick – these sessions will sell out fast!

Cost: $35 per session

Sunday 25 October
Sunday 29 November.

Bookings essential.
