The BVACS was the first arts society to be established in NSW outside of Sydney. The first meeting of the society was held on November 13, 1946 to discuss holding an exhibition of local paintings the following month. The meeting went on to resolve a motion, 'to form a society for the encouragement and cultivation of artistic works of a cultural nature'. A further motion resolved that 'the society be known as the Bega Valley Fine Arts and Crafts Society'.
