History of the Society
Mosman is a locality with a rich artistic heritage going back to the mid 19th century*. The Mosman Art Society was established following discussions held by a group of Mosman residents in 1994 who shared a vision of a studio and gallery where artists could meet and share their common interest in art. As a result of this the Society was incorporated in June 1995**.
Three years later, the Mosman Council established the Mosman Art Gallery and Community Centre. This was a most significant and welcome milestone in the cultural history of Mosman and its surrounding suburbs.
It was agreed from the beginning that the Mosman Art Society would be an inclusive society with both Social and Exhibiting Members. At the same time works submitted for an exhibition would be subjected to a selection process. The Society endeavours to ensure that all Exhibition entrants are represented by at least one work. Our membership includes professional artists, amateur artists, students and those who just love and appreciate art. The Society has grown over the past 15 years and now has a significant membership base.
The financial reports are presented at the Annual General Meeting. An Annual Information Statement is also lodged with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) within six months from your reporting period. The constitution is filed with the Department of Fair Trading. The Society has a Not For Profit Organisation Public and Product Liability Insurance Policy.
The Patron of the Society is Paul Delprat, the Principal of the Julian Ashton Art School which was established as the Sydney Art School in 1890. The Julian Ashton Art School currently has two campuses, one at the Rocks in the City of Sydney and one at Headland Park at Georges Heights in Mosman. Paul has been a most valued member since the inception of the Society.
