BCAC Activities

Nexus Community Gallery

Run by volunteers, Nexus has two exhibition spaces, the Main Gallery and the smaller Studio Gallery, which host 15-20 exhibitions each year including four Members’ Exhibitions.

The first Nexus Community Gallery was housed in what is now the Bellingen Gallery and Framing Studio on Hyde Street.  In 2005 it moved to the Old Butter Factory originally in what is now the Main Gallery space. The current Studio was the Tourist Information Centre; BCAC gained the Studio space when the Information Centre moved to its current location near Bellingen Council and the Library.

Nexus celebrated 20 years at the Old Butter Factory on 19 August 2025.
