OUR STORY SO FAR..



We live in a lovely little picturesque and friendly town, in the Central West of NSW. We have a beautiful lake and the Lachlan River and we have our very own bushranger Ben Hall buried in the cemetery, as well as Ned Kelly's sister Kate. The closest larger towns are Orange and Dubbo


The Gallery Painting Group have been meeting every Thursday for years and in 2010 their members decided to form the Forbes Arts Society. 


We are not only about painting but photography, textiles, woodworking, sculpture, any form of art that pleases the eye and makes the heart sing. 


All along we had the full support of the Forbes Council for which we are very grateful, we could not have done it without them. Our first major exhibition in the beautiful Forbes Town Hall was in November 2010 showing the works of renowned Orange artist Ted Lewis.
