ACAS, based at Atwell House in Canning Highway, Alfred Cove, is celebrating its 38th anniversary this year.
Its annual Awards of Excellence was established in 2000 to encourage members to strive for excellence.
Since then the society's enthusiastic and talented artists have risen to the challenge, each year entering a large number of high quality paintings.
