Beaver Galleries is located in the city of Canberra, the national capital of Australia. Established in 1975, it is the largest privately-owned gallery in Canberra. The gallery's reputation extends well beyond its strong national presence in Canberra to increasing international recognition with its active programme of promoting Australian artists overseas. There are four separate gallery spaces for exhibitions and displays, as well as a sculpture garden, gallery shop and licensed cafe. Beaver Galleries is open 10am - 5pm daily and visitors are always welcome.
