Berrima District Art Gallery

The BDAS was founded in October 1950 by Kath Smith and a committee of interested members of the general public.

The first meetings were held in the C.W.A. Rooms at Moss Vale from 1951- 1963. A room was then rented in Berrima Court House, this period was from 1963 - 1969.

In 1970 the Society acquired through the generosity of Edgar Bent a cottage in Short Street, Bowral, which is still its permanent home.

The Berrima District Art Society is now a very active centre for the Arts in the Southern Highlands.
