BVAC’s MISSION - To advance the Wellers Hill Arts Hub as Greater Brisbane’s premier arts community space for the support of the creative pursuits of member organisations and their members, as well as connect with the wider community. BVAC’s VISION - To foster and strengthen relationships to elevate the Brisbane Visual Arts Community’s profile in the wider community. Brisbane Visual Art Community was born in the latter half of 2011 as an incorporated association. Membership consists of art and craft groups with members in Brisbane and beyond. The major driver for bringing these groups together is that a number of organisations are homeless and struggle to survive financially. With a consolidation of resources and the elimination of outside expenditures the groups will be able to get better value for money than the individual organisations operating alone. Our current home base is Wellers Hill Arts Hub. Located at 140 Weller Rd, Tarragindi. Regular meetings and workshops are held at the Arts hub by various groups. The Arts Hub is available for hire for meetings and workshops. If you wish to find out more about hiring opportunities then contact us at Wellershillartshub.bookings@gmail.com.
