Welcome

Our society was founded in 1884. Early members included W.C. Piguenit, Haughton Forrest and Arthur Streeton. Today it has a growing membership of established and emerging artists, and since 1948 has had its headquarters at the Lady Franklin Gallery in Lenah Valley, a suburb of Hobart. Our Patron is the Governor of Tasmania.

How to Get There

Buses leave from outside the GPO, Elizabeth St Hobart. On weekends take bus no.6 to its terminus at Ancanthe Park, Lenah Valley.

Taxis or cars travel along Augusta Road and Lenah Valley Road until just past its intersection with Brushy Creek Road. The Gallery is on your left, a car park on your right.

Opening Hours

The Gallery is open 1.30pm - 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays during daylight saving months and 1pm - 4pm during winter months. Closed between Christmas and New Year.
