GET INVOLVED

Volunteers hanging artwork

A community-driven space for art, culture, and connection in the heart of Victoria’s High Country

The Bright Art Gallery and Cultural Centre could not function without its members and supportive group of dedicated volunteers. 

The Gallery is entirely managed and operated by a passionate team of volunteers, with no paid staff. Our 15-member committee and over 300 active members — including Alpine Artists and Youth Members — drive everything we do. Every dollar raised goes directly into maintaining and improving our gallery facilities.
