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 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.
