Newcastle Art Gallery books February re-opening

Newcastle Art Gallery will reopen on Friday, February 27, with a street party and temporary sculpture park on Laman Street, followed by the launch of its major exhibition "Iconic, Loved, Unexpected" on February 28. The reopening marks the completion of a 16-year expansion project that more than doubles the gallery's footprint, adding 1,600 square meters of exhibition space, 13 galleries, a loading dock, café, retail shop, and learning studio, making it the largest public art institution in New South Wales outside Sydney.
