Expansion Project
Newcastle Art Gallery has been at the heart of our city’s rich arts and cultural history for over forty years. Our expansion project will deliver an additional 1,600 square meters of exhibition space - more than doubling the space to showcase our city's collection and our artists’ most groundbreaking ideas.
The project will also deliver a new café and retail shop, multi-purpose and educational program spaces, a secure international standard loading dock, and will extend the building's footprint east along Darby Street and Queen Street.
As a major cultural asset for NSW, Newcastle Art Gallery offers the ability to both tell local stories and inspire new ones through the creation, collection and display of works of art that hold local, national and international importance.
While Newcastle Art Gallery is being reimagined, we will continue to deliver ambitious offsite and digital programming for the community.
