Bolin Bolin Gallery

BAAG has always aimed to meet the community’s needs in its own unique way, and just over 20 years art became an important part of this process. BAAG is situated in an area with a rich art history and tradition, being the birthplace of the Heidelberg school artists, and just around the corner from Heide, which was so important in the development of Australian modern art. There are also many practising artists living and working close by who need somewhere to exhibit and sell their work.

The establishment of the Bolin Bolin Gallery was suggested and urged by staff member, Claire Nailer. Claire was also an artist and gardener with experience in the theatre and had been responsible for many innovative displays around the nursery. So, a gallery space was planned, exhibition procedures worked out, artists invited to exhibit, and the Bolin Bolin Gallery opened in 1995. The next images show that first exhibition.Since then 7-10 art exhibitions have been held every year and many hundreds of artists have been involved

The first exhibition in the Bolin Bolin Gallery in November 1995.

Artists include Meredith Plain, Claire Nailer, Cherry Manders, Sandra Lamb, Kay Jensen, Jan Saric.
