Wollongong Art Gallery

Not a lot of people visiting this place. Good size local gallery. If you visiting Wollongong area and have a free time, i would say just give this place a look. The location is very good close to the town centre. ++

Not many people visit this place. It is usually empty during the day, sometimes you might see one or two others visiting. It would be nce to see some renovations to give the place an update. Maybe different colour walls in different sections like black walls etc. to make it more interesting.

really cool place to visit ..free entrance free souvenirs. . 1st floor 'what a life 'rock music gallery is awesome. .

I've been visiting numerous times a year for almost a decade, very family and child friendly. Always new exhibits to see both local and international. Honestly one of my favourite places in the Illawarra

One of those hidden secrets. I'm told not many local know about this place. Building design from the 60s/70s gives it a unique charm.

Nice and free! Loved the Midnight Oil Exhibit.

Free and not too big, a nice way to spend an hour or two. Lots of beautiful old paintings of the local area.

Great historic paintings of the Illawarra along with some more contemporary art to challenge my thinking.

My neice (6) and nephew (4) appreciated the kids corner and there were self directed activities related to one of the exhibitions. Could easily have spent half a day.

One of the Illawarra's under-appreciated assets. Air conditioned, elevator for easy access, and multiple levels of quality work from local and international artists. An inspiring building.

Wrap Party with The Pinheads Live music, food, refreshments and last chance to see the works of some of Illawarra's most promising young artists.

Here are 2 of our upcoming 2 day workshops - Resin Art with Misha Harrison and Birds of the Illawarra Watercolour Workshop with Ann Clarke.
