Victorian Artists Society
Victorian Artists Society, Art school and gallery in East Melbourne, Australia
The Victorian Artists Society occupies a heritage-listed bluestone building on Albert Street, featuring four exhibition galleries, classrooms, and a traditional art studio.
Founded in 1870 by early impressionist painters, the society emerged from the merger of the Victorian Academy of Arts and Australian Artists' Association in 1888.
The institution provides education in various art forms, including oil painting, watercolor, pastel, drawing, and sculpture, taught by professional artists in specialized studios.
The galleries remain open to visitors from 10 AM to 4 PM on weekdays and 11 AM to 4 PM on weekends, with free entry and disabled facilities.
The building housed a music conservatory run by opera singer Nellie Melba from 1915 until 1931, commemorated by a special plaque installed in 2014.
