Welcome!
Tableland Region Art Society (TRAS) is an active & supportive community art organisation.
We are based in the regional town of Atherton, about an hour west of the tropical city of Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia. Our members come from all over the beautiful Atherton Tablelands, and range from beginners to established artists.
TRAS includes a number of groups under its umbrella, who participate in a variety of creative activities.
We welcome all those from the local area with an interest in art to join us!
Exhibitions
Each year TRAS holds multiple group exhibitions, giving its members the opportunity to show their work in the three local galleries run by Tablelands Regional Council.
Wednesday Art Sessions
TRAS members meet each Wednesday at the Community Centre in Atherton for informal workshops, where they explore different art media & techniques.
Life Drawing Sessions
On the fourth Wednesday of each month, a clothed or nude model is available for members to practice valuable life-drawing skills.
Thursday Painters
This group of artists get together each Thursday at the TRAS rooms, at the Community Centre in Atherton. They work in a variety of painting mediums & styles, either independently, or with the encouragement & guidance of an art tutor.
