Berninneit Art Gallery is a professional visual arts space that brings the best in contemporary art to our region, and which supports and fosters local artists. Attracting residents and visitors alike, it is a curated gallery that is Bass Coast’s first purpose-built exhibition space.

 

We strive to present well-executed and coherent exhibitions that are of the highest quality from emerging and established artists from Australia and beyond. The exhibition programme is designed to present works that support and develop the Arts in the region which in turn fosters a strong sense of local identity and encourages meaningful dialogue and participation from community.


We are proud to offer successful applicants the chance to present their exhibitions in our award-winning cultural centre, which opened in late 2023.


Each selected exhibition will be scheduled for a 6-week run in 2027.

Important Information:


Applications open Friday 10 April 2026 and close at midnight Friday, 29 May 2026

Successful exhibition applications will be notified of the outcome of their proposal by email within six weeks of the application deadline.
