NGA launches its 2025 exhibition program, early

In an unprecedented early announcement for the visual arts, the National Gallery has laid out its 2025 program for early planners.

It is always a “twiddling thumbs moment” waiting, waiting, and then a scramble each year, as the major galleries announce their exhibition program for the year ahead.

In 2024, the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) has bounced out of the gates exceptionally early. Last week it announced its 2025 program, right through to December. This unprecedented move, however, is welcomed, allowing arts lovers more breathing space to plan (and save) to make those art journeys for key exhibitions.
