2025 Ballot
The major fundraiser for the Society is our annual Art Ballot which takes place in August. Paintings in all subjects, mediums and sizes are donated by our artists and an exhibition mounted. There are only 100 tickets available and the price is just $400 per ticket. The Ballot can be viewed on Saturday 2 August through to Saturday 23 August with the Draw at 12 noon on Sunday 24 August, 2025 (No viewing on Sunday 24 August.). Ticket sales are now open for the event. If paying by direct deposit BSB: 062-217, Acc: 00000203, Ref: Ballot and your surname.
During the viewing times, art lovers and investors come in and list their favourite paintings. On the day of the Ballot Draw, at 12 noon, the first ticket is drawn. That ticket holder has the first choice of any painting in the exhibition and so on it goes. There are always more paintings than tickets sold, so everyone has a good choice. The last four tickets drawn can choose from the Ballot paintings plus a bonus painting. It’s an exciting day and is live screened for those unable to attend.
Absentee voting form and catalogue will be found separately under “Events”.
This is a superb way of starting off your art collection or adding to it and is the perfect gift for any occasion.
The Society is a “not for profit” association deriving its income from membership, the art school, gallery, donations and the Ballot Fundraiser.
