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.

​The Braidwood Regional Arts Group acknowledges the Walbanga People of the Yuin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which BRAG is located.
We pay our deepest respects to their Elders—Past and Present—acknowledging that they have cared for this Country for millennia. We acknowledge that Braidwood has always been a place of storytelling, of cultural expression, and of creativity.
In the spirit of partnership and respect, we acknowledge the continuing connection of the traditional custodians to the land, waters, and community of the Braidwood region.

EXPOSE EXHIBITION
Kate McGrath
Back Roads
Opening 6th February at 6pm
Inspired by wandering along country roads and by the coast, Kate seeks to capture the moods of our landscape. This exhibition brings together works on canvas and paper, each offering a different perspective of the land’s textures, light and spaces. The paintings invite the viewer to move slowly, pause and take in the rhythms.
