NEWCASTLE ART GALLERY
The reimagining of Newcastle Art Gallery is a significant cultural project that expands and strengthens one of Australia’s most important regional collections. Delivered in collaboration with Clare Design, the project more than doubles the Gallery’s footprint, creating over 1,600 square metres of new exhibition space.
The design builds on the robust character of the original 1977 building, extending its language with a careful balance of scale, proportion and material. New gallery spaces are organised across two levels, with improved clarity of entry, circulation and public interface. Retail, education and program spaces activate the street edge, strengthening the Gallery’s connection to the city and its cultural precinct.
The result is a cohesive and enduring civic building that integrates old and new, supporting flexibility, accessibility and long-term growth.
