The Marion Art Group (MAG) is a not-for-profit association formed in 1978 when founding member, Sue Schilling provided an opportunity for artists to meet, share and develop their skills and exhibit their work. Soon a group of 30 people regularly met in a hall in Warradale, but as numbers grew it became obvious that a bigger hall was needed and a move to the Marino Community Hall was made in July 1989.

Fast forward many years. We enjoyed temporary accommodation at the Seacliff United Church Hall, from 2023 to mid 2025. We are now enjoying the benefits of the new build of the Marino Community Hall.

Monday Studio Sessions:

We are a drawing and painting group, working in a variety of media and styles.

Marion Art Group is about making connections with other artists, sharing skills, ideas, exchanging advice and planning and preparing to exhibit together at various venues. There is no expectation to exhibit with the group, but opportunities are there if wanted. We work together in this way at our Studio Sessions on Mondays between 9.00 am and 12.00 pm. We work on our own art and socialise, enjoying the diversity of characters in our group.

We do encourage our members to learn from each other, but we do not provide formal teaching sessions.

We are a vibrant, creative group of people who enjoy a challenge and the process of developing our skills in our chosen media. We appreciate and respect each other’s varied skills, backgrounds and ages.
