The Bright Art Gallery and Cultural Centre is a community-owned gallery situated in the beautiful Alpine Shire town of Bright, Victoria. Established in 1962, the Bright Art Gallery is largely self-funded and run entirely by volunteers, without any paid employees. The managing committee is elected annually by the members of the gallery. In 2025 the gallery incorporates around 400 members, half of these are artists, known as the ‘Alpine Artists’ and 58 Youth members. A volunteer committee of 15 manages and oversees all facets of running the gallery.

At present the gallery has four exhibition periods per year:
The Autumn Art Exhibition has been running every year since 1961. The Winter Exhibitions are on during the Victorian school holidays with varying exhibitions, the Spring Exhibitions run from late September to early November for a period of six weeks. Usually there are three simultaneous exhibitions, including an ‘Alpine Artist’ exhibition and one or two solo or group exhibitions. The Summer ART Awards exhibition runs from end of November to end of January. This is open exclusively to the Alpine Artists (artist members of the gallery) and the Youth Members of the Gallery. For about 10 days in November the entire gallery is occupied by the Bright P-12 Students School Exhibition.
