Experience Newcastle Art Gallery’s icons, loved favourites, and unexpected gems in our inaugural exhibition, Iconic Loved Unexpected.

Across every space in the expanded Gallery, we celebrate our nationally renowned collection with a curated selection from more than 7,000 works of art by local, national and global artists. This multi-faceted display foregrounds First Nations art and traces the development of Australian art over more than 200 years, as well as showcasing vibrant works by contemporary artists from across the globe.

Newcastle Art Gallery is gearing up for our full reopening in late February! Our three-day celebration begins with a Street Party from 5pm on Friday 27 February, followed by a vibrant program over Saturday 28 February and Sunday 1 March.
