BRAG: Supporting artists and the Arts in Braidwood

At Braidwood Regional Arts Group, we provide a safe, communal space for all kinds of artists and craftspeople - emerging to professional - to come together.

We offer the opportunity to exhibit in several visual arts group shows each year, as well as art groups to join in and music and poetry events to attend! Everyone is welcome at our events.

About Us

BRAG is a community organisation for artists, craftspeople, writers, performers, teachers, art enthusiasts and supporters within Braidwood and the area. BRAG was established in 2002. The Arts Centre at 45 Wallace Street was purchased with the help of the broader community and the Federal Government. It was officially opened in 2012.

The BRAG Arts Centre provides a space to gather, learn, exhibit and enjoy.

The Centre is used by the members for BRAG exhibitions and events, and is also available to hire for any purpose -

a pop-up expo, a party,

a one-off performance or a weekly class.

BRAG is a not-for-profit community organisation. All donations go towards improving our facilities and services.

Your donations to our Public Fund are tax-deductible.

The 2024-25 Committee:

M. Nugent (Vice President), M. Glover (Treasurer), R. McCann (Secretary), R. Hamilton, N. McLeish, A. Ford, A. Stuart, A. Moynihan, K. McCann, L. Acheson, L. Moriarty, J.Foulcher
