Become a Member

New members will receive a warm welcome at the Hervey Bay Art Society.

Membership of the Hervey Bay Art Society gives you the opportunity to contribute to Fraser Coast’s cultural vibrancy, to hone your art skills, to display (and sell) your works and to mix with fellow artists and art enthusiasts in a welcoming and supportive environment.

The annual membership (from Jul 1 to Jun 30) fee for new members is just $55. Renewal fee for on-going membership is $50.

If you would like to join, just drop in to Gallery 5 in Sandy Street and complete a membership application form. The best time to do this is on a Friday when the office is open from 9 am to 12 pm. More details of where we are located are detailed here.

N.B. If you are not a practicing artist and are not interested in becoming one, but you are interested in the arts, then you may wish to consider becoming a Friend of Gallery 5, instead of joining as a financial member.

Gallery 5 Library

Hervey Bay Art Society owns books and magazines that are available for art society members to peruse and, in the case of the books, borrow.
There is a bookshelf near the kitchen filled with wonderful books about art. These books are available to peruse anytime at the gallery and can also be borrowed. A borrowing book is attached to the shelves. The borrowing process will be to sign out one item at a time which must be co-signed by another member. Two weeks is the maximum borrowing time and upon returning the item sign it back in. A simple process but one that must be followed if the society is to retain these older quality art references.
Art Magazines are stored in the front workshop cupboards. Due to many publishing companies closing down there are no longer any Australian art magazines published. This means the art society collection is very important and should not be taken from the gallery. Please respect the reasoning behind this requirement and cherish these art magazines.
