The BCS Gallery are holding a silent auction to help raise funds so they can continue their fantastic community driven exhibitions.

You should probably check it out.

Over the years gallery@bcs has developed a number of community driven exhibition series designed to provide opportunities for disadvantaged or emerging artists to exhibit their work where they may have otherwise been unable to do so.

Our Springboard Series provides opportunities for artists either studying or recently graduated from tertiary art institutions while our Piece of Mind series is geared towards helping people who use art as therapy for Mental Health difficulties or Disabilities. We have most recently instituted the RESPECT series as part of the BCS Reconciliation Action Plan exhibiting artwork by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Artists in celebration of Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week. Due to increased operational costs in running these series, and our goal to expand the level of support we can give to our artists, we are holding this fundraising exhibition in which 15 local artists will donate a piece to ensure we can continue provide these opportunities to our community.
