Volunteer at Braemar Gallery
Join the team!
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.

Exhibition Program
Currently not accepting applications
Exhibiting at Braemar Gallery or the Hub Upstairs Gallery is a wonderful opportunity for Blue Mountains artists to share their work with the community. We usually run a four to six week open call around September each year for applications to exhibit the following year.
Please see below for the 2025 documents as an example of what we have asked as part of the process. These documents will be updated next year and a new application prepared.
