Newcastle Art Gallery will be ready to welcome visitors once again in late September this year, just in time for City of Newcastle’s flagship arts and culture festival, New Annual (27 September to 6 October).
The final stages of construction are now underway for the gallery’s major redevelopment, which combines a new building with the existing 47-year-old structure and creates an additional 1600 square metres of exhibition space. It has been supported by over $22 million in funding through the Australian Government, the NSW Government and the Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation.
