The Group was based for many years in the St Mary's art studio, beneath the church hall of St. Mary's Anglican Church, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane. It now operates workshops from a studio at 37 Quarry Rd, Sherwood.

Founding members included sculptor Lewis Jarvis Harvey.

In 2021 the Half Dozen Group of Artists Inc. celebrates its 80th birthday. The Annual Exhibition continues as a major feature of its history and events.
