ANNUAL EASTER MEMBERS EXHIBITION
The main exhibition of the Society is the Annual Easter Art Exhibition conducted over the five days of the Easter period. This exhibition has been conducted for forty-five years and the major Best in Show prize is $1000 provided by the Bass Coast Shire which also entitles the winner to enter five paintings in the Bass Coast Shire Aquisitive Award with a prize of $5000. There are six sponsored prizes of $300 for each Best in Category and $150 for Special Commendation for each category with awards for Peoples Choice, Best Newscomer (never having won a prize) and Best Photograph. Over the years the exhibition has been conducted at various locations but in recent years has returned to the home of the Bass Coast Artists' Society, the Goods Shed Art Space Workshop and Gallery.

GOODS SHED PERMANENT EXHIBITION
In recent years, The Goods Shed has been set up as a permanent Gallery/Hanging Space for members and is open to the general public whenever there is an activity at the Goods Shed. The exhibition is rolled over every three months for a new set of paintings to be hung. Whenever there is activity in the Goods Shed special "Gallery Open" flags are displayed externally at each end of the building inviting public to attend.
SHOWCASE CORNER
A section of the Goods Shed Gallery is set aside as a Showcase Corner featuring the life work of a different member each month. This is an opportunity for members to show their varietyof style and ability over a period of time and is particularly interesting to the public.
