THE BURNIE COASTAL ART GROUP

Was created in 1952 by a small group of artists who saw the need for forming  group to foster and encourage art in North West Tasmania.

Between 1979 and 1985 a small gallery was established in downtown Burnie, holding many and varied exhibitions.

In September 1985 the group purchased the Uniting Church in Upper Burnie, now known as Studio 2eleven.

In 1979 the group held an exhibition at Hellyer College whic was named the Tasmanian Art Exhibition. The exhibition was moved to the Burnie Regional Art Gallery in 1982 and is now known as TasArt Exhibition. We now hold TASART in our Gallery. To continue this exhibition means a considerable amount of hard work by enthusiastic members.

We are supported by many organisations and businesses who support the arts with their sponsorship.
