Shop at BRAG is a retail space showcasing work by selected independent artists and makers. Rather than choosing individual pieces, we partner with artists whose practices, perspectives, and quality of work align with the vision of BRAG.
BRAG is seeking expressions of interest from new and emerging artists with a strong connection to Bunbury or the South West to contribute to the Shop for a 12-month period.
HOW TO APPLY
Please attach a short bio/CV relating to your arts practice and why you would be a good fit for the Shop. Include any support materials, such as good-quality photos of past artworks similar to what you intend to sell in the Shop.
Applications to be completed online by 21 June 2026.
EOIs will be assessed by a BRAG selection panel to ensure fairness, quality and a diversity of practices. Successful applicants will be contacted to discuss the opportunity in further detail and to assign a suitable time slot for the delivery of works.
FAQs are located after the application form. If you have further questions, please contact our gallery administration on 9792 7323 or artgallery@bunbury.wa.gov.au.

FAQs
It is free to display in the Shop. Artworks are insured while at BRAG (up to sale value); however, transport to and from the Gallery is at the artist’s discretion.
Please also be aware that a commission of 33% will apply to all products, so please factor this in when you price your items
In describing your artwork, you are encouraged to consider the following questions:
- What is the nature of your product / e.g. painting, ceramic, glass, jewellery?
- Will you be able to display work for a 12-month period with consideration for replacing sold works?
- Is there a theme behind your products?
- What is the connection with the South West?
All artworks must be ready for display, including any required hanging attachments. Works that are not ready for installation will not be accepted. Installation will be completed by BRAG staff.
All products will be given artwork labels for the individual works and an artist bio label. BRAG will endeavour to market your product through its networks of local and social media, email mail-outs, the website, and its digital newsletter. Products will remain at BRAG for a 12-month period unless sold, and the artist will be paid for any sold works within 30 days of the removal of those products.
If selected, you can display up to five works at a time on a consignment agreement. Works are rotated as they sell to keep the space fresh. If you sell out within the 12-month period, you’ll be invited to supply more (with about three months’ notice near the end of your term). If that’s not possible, other artists’ works may be used to maintain continuity. All works are handled under standard consignment terms, managed through the gallery’s Shopify system, and sold via the gallery’s normal front-of-house processes, overseen by the Gallery Officer.
Please consider the retail space, its size, features, and cultural context. Consider what sort of product would successfully fill the space. Send good-quality photos of your products so they can be easily assessed by the BRAG selection panel.
