Thanks for visiting!

The Burnside Painting Group is a group of South Australians who enjoy creating art in a friendly environment with fellow artists. We are a not-for-profit community group, run by a team of volunteers.

Members range from experienced artists to complete beginners. New members are welcome. Contact us

We hold painting and drawing sessions, tutored by experienced practising artists. You can also attend if you are not participating in a class, and enjoy the companionship of other members as you work on your own projects.

You will find more information about our classes, workshops, social events, exhibitions and more by browsing through our website. Why not join us? We hope to see you soon.

End of year function

Wednesday 2 December 2020 at 7.30pm

Please note: Due to COVID restrictions, we have had to cancel, or postpone, this event.

To celebrate as we near the end of 2020, why not Ritz it up and come along to our final Social Night for the year? It should be fun!

Dress up a little, don a hat and/or gloves, sparkles, sequins, suave hat or feather boa! After all, it's the 20's once again!

There will be cabaret style seating, suitably spaced. No dancing, unfortunately, unless restrictions are lifted!

We hope you will come along and have some fun chatting with other members of the Burnside Painting Group. Of course, family and friends are most welcome!

You will need to register by emailing Rosalie with names and phone numbers of attendees ([email protected]).

Annual Exhibition 2020

This year we held a scaled-down Annual Exhibition from 23 July to 28 August in the Atrium at the Burnside Civic Centre, Greenhill Road, Tusmore. Due to COVID considerations, there was no launch and awards event, and no formal selection and judging process.

Visitors to the exhibition were encouraged to vote for their favourite work, with the work/s scoring the most votes to receive the Phyllis Kopp Award.
