About our group/organisation
WAG is a not-for-profit community organization based in the Wollondilly Shire, Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. Our group has been operating since 2004 in which time we have been supporting artists and lobbying for a dedicated community space, a home for our group, to provide a permanent meeting place, workshop and gallery space.
Temporary gallery space
Our gallery has moved to a new temporary meeting/gallery space in Thirlmere, 19 Oaks Street, at the Old Post Office. The gallery will be open on the 3rd Sunday of each month. Our members work includes: oil, water colour, acrylic, mixed media, printmaking, ceramics, wood work, wood turning and textiles.
