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.

Annual Exhibition 2020

In 2020 we held a scaled-down Annual Exhibition (23 July - 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. However, visitors to the exhibition were encouraged to vote for their favourite work, with the work/s scoring the most votes receiving the Phyllis Kopp Award.
