Wollongong Art Gallery (WAG)

These provide multiple points of engagement and access to both exhibitions and the ideas that underscore them. The gallery occupies the former city council administration building designed by Reginald J McGoffin in an austere, classical style. It boasts a unique external exhibition space around the building through multiple temporary panels, and provides community access through the Community Access Gallery and facility hire of its multifunction space.

The gallery was officially opened in 1956 and converted into a gallery in 1991. The floorplan of the building evokes the shape of a jewelled crown in commemoration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The Wollongong Art Gallery Friends organization runs a range of programs, events, and activities throughout the year. All members receive invitations to special evets, discounts on various items and activities as well as reciprocal rights to national and state public galleries nationwide.
