50 years of fostering creativity in Milton and the South Coast.
The story began in April 1974, when nineteen art students gathered in the home of Jean Hill, a respected local art teacher. Inspired by their shared passion for learning and painting, they decided to form an art society—and Jean Hill became its first president.
Their first home was the former mill manager’s residence opposite Ulladulla Harbour, known as the Millhouse—the place that gave the Society its name.
After seven years, they reluctantly left the Millhouse to allow for construction of the new Civic Centre. The Society had some temporary homes—including a return to Jean’s place—before settling at Kendall Cottage in Ulladulla, where membership continued to grow. In 1995, the closure of the Milton TAFE allowed Millhouse Art Society to rent two rooms and transform them into a gallery and workshop. This creative hub remains the Society’s home today.
