Opportunities

Exhibiting at Braemar Gallery is a wonderful opportunity for artists to share their work with the community. We are thrilled to be accepting applications for the 2026 exhibition program until 12pm midnight on Wednesday 1 October 2025.

The annual exhibition program is open to Blue Mountains artists who are interested in presenting a solo exhibition, or to Blue Mountains artist groups or collectives interested in presenting an exhibition together. Artists residing in local government areas directly adjoining to the Blue Mountains (Penrith, Wollondilly, Hawkesbury and Lithgow) will be considered, however they must address additional criteria in their application.

Please read the Guidelines then download and complete the Application Form. Both are available below in Word and PDF formats.

Joining the Braemar House Reference Group is a wonderful way to contribute to Braemar Gallery governance and operations, and to support the local arts and culture community.

The Reference Group is a volunteer advisory responsible for mounting and marketing exhibitions, collaborating with artists, supporting volunteers and engaging visitors. All members are asked to attend a monthly meeting (on the afternoon of the second Thursday of each month) and complete regular operational tasks. 

We are calling for Expressions of Interest for two Reference Group members with a Community Engagement & Events Coordinator and General Member vacancies. Further information on the roles and how to apply can be found below. EOIs should be submitted by Friday 3 October 2025 to braemargallery@gmail.com

No experience is necessary, just an appreciation of art and an eagerness to greet visitors with a friendly smile and provide general information as required. Volunteer duties include opening and closing the gallery, keeping up to date with exhibitions, tracking visitor numbers, and carrying light weight external signage such as flags and A-frame signs. Volunteers also have the opportunity to exhibit in an annual exhibition and receive invitations to volunteer events. The Braemar House Reference Group is always happy to provide reference letters to our volunteers should it help with other pursuits.

Please read, complete and return a Volunteer Application Form to braemargallery@gmail.com and our Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch with you soon. The form is available in Word format and PDF format. Hard copies are also available at the Volunteer Desk at Braemar Gallery.
