The Bridge Art Project Incorporated Vision

BAP Overview

The Bridge Art Project Committee's vision is to establish a groundbreaking arts precinct in Moama.

The completion of Moama Art Gallery – Bunyma on Meninya Street marks a major milestone in realising this vision. Supported by funding from the Australian and NSW Governments, together with generous community contributions, the gallery represents a significant investment in the cultural future of Echuca Moama and the wider region.

The gallery has been developed to celebrate creativity, share stories and provide opportunities for cultural connection. It will present contemporary exhibitions, support local and visiting artists and create opportunities to engage with First Nations art, history and culture.

Beyond the gallery, the Bridge Art Project's broader vision includes the development of 17 hectares of riverine forest into an arts, cultural and recreational precinct. Truly art immersed in nature. The newly constructed raised pedestrian walkway connects the gallery with the forest precinct. A vast natural resource, it provides scope for arts and cultural enrichment, education and nature-based experiences, guided by First Nations connection and knowledge.

Echuca and Moama, situated on the Murray River, have a rich history as a visitor destination. The Bridge Art Project aims to build upon this history, offering new, unique and authentic experiences to delight visitors.

The project seeks to connect histories, encourage diverse perspectives and inspire conversations that bring together the past, present and future.

From an ambitious vision to a completed gallery, Moama Art Gallery – Bunyma marks an exciting new chapter for the Bridge Art Project and the Echuca Moama and regional community.

Located in Moama, the purpose-built gallery represents the achievement of the first major stage of the Bridge Art Project's Masteplan to create a vibrant arts and cultural precinct.

The gallery has been designed to provide a welcoming space for artistic expression, cultural exchange and community participation. Facilities include exhibition spaces, dedicated community art spaces, a café and gallery shop surrounded by landscaped gardens.

A significant part of the gallery's vision is to celebrate and share First Nations art, culture, history and stories. The Bridge Art Project is committed to respecting Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property and supporting meaningful cultural engagement.

The riverine forest precinct is an important part of the project's future. A raised walkway now connects the gallery with 17 hectares of forest. Walking paths have been made and spaces cleared for community activities on the Murray’s foreshore. Nature-based education and activities will include restoration of native vegetation to support local fauna. Attractions including cycling trails, sculptures and cultural interpretation are planned.

With the gallery building now complete, attention turns to welcoming the community and bringing the space to life through exhibitions, events and creative experiences.
