He estimates that 800 people view the Art Show every day in the army tents set up near The Canberra Centre, held annually for a week over Floriade.

The society is a non-profit organisation that holds art exhibitions, competitions and classes at O’Neil’s Cottage, an 1880s brick cottage set on the banks of the Queanbeyan River.
