The Bilyara Experience

Recognised as a "gallery of excellence" by the New South Wales Regional Galleries Association, Bilyara Gallery, which opened in January 1989, is a must for anyone visiting the Sapphire Coast. Less than three hours driving time from Canberra, and within fifteen minutes of Bega and the seaside towns of Merimbula and Tathra, the gallery is nestled in natural bushland. It is one kilometre off Sapphire Coast Drive, just a stone’s throw from Bournda Nature Reserve, Wallagoot Lake, and beautiful beaches.

Everything about this gallery, from its unique design to its tranquil setting, provides the visitor with a very special experience. Bilyara exhibits a wide range of the finest quality Australian arts and crafts beautifully displayed against a backdrop of timber ceiling, pine flooring and radiating oregon beams. Enhancing the total effect is the tempting aroma of coffee and home baked cakes, along with soothing music, excellent lighting and a warm welcome.



The paintings on show are by both local and interstate artists and comprise oils, watercolours, pastels, acrylics, and etchings. Representational landscapes and seascapes are available, but also there is a wide variety of semi-abstract and more contemporary paintings. Crafts include: glass; pottery; wood; jewellery; bronze; pewter; and stained glass figurines. 



It’s idyllic, it’s top drawer quality... It’s at BILYARA GALLERY.
