galleries
Three large gallery spaces feature work by emerging, mid-career and established Australian artists working in a wide range of mediums. Two of the spaces are given over exclusively to the exhibition programme with more than twenty exhibitions each year. The third gallery features a regularly changing display of current work by all of the gallery artists, with more work held in the extensive stockroom.
Beaver Galleries has clients throughout Australia and overseas. Coordination of artwork delivery, through a variety of transport options, is available and can be arranged by the gallery.
print room
The gallery has a dedicated print room displaying and selling original limited edition fine art prints created by some of Australia’s most recognised printmakers. The selection covers all forms of printmaking from etchings and lithographs to wood engravings and linocuts. Gallery staff can assist you in the selection of both framed and unframed artworks.
We work exclusively with professional framers and provide experienced advice in the selection of frames for unframed prints. High quality Australian timber and archival quality materials are always used.
gallery shop
The gallery shop features carefully selected, exquisitely crafted and individually made objects from some of Australia’s leading designers and makers. Hand blown glass vessels and objects, porcelain and stoneware bowls and cups, hand woven and silk scarves, Australian timber boxes and contemporary silver and gold jewellery are just some of the extensive range of work available in the gallery shop.
Beaver Galleries offers gift vouchers and a gift registry service for both the gallery and the gallery shop. Please contact the gallery for more information on this service.
Many of the gallery shop items can be purchased from our online gallery shop and sent directly to you.
