The Institute provides a non-profit creative arts centre housing studios,
workshops and galleries. The Institute supports contemporary creative arts
practice in an environment open to variety and continual change.
As an incorporated association, it is governed by a Committee of Management
and administered through the Arts Manager. The arts programs at the Institute
are developed in close consultation and collaboration with contemporary artists.
Running costs are covered by participants fees, studio rental and exhibition
income. Special projects have been supplemented by occasional local government
and state government grants.
BIA plays an important role in providing access to low cost contemporary art
space. The exhibition program showcases work by emerging, mid-career and established
artists.
The studios are open access which means they are available to professional
artists and the broader community when not being used for scheduled activities.
All facilities including galleries, printmaking facilities, computer laboratory,
photographic darkroom, workshops and studios are available for hire.
