What we do

Shoalhaven Regional Gallery serves as an exciting artistic hub for the Shoalhaven region and the south coast of NSW. Each year welcomes a vibrant exhibition program featuring both contemporary and traditional works, a diverse range of touring exhibitions by leading Australian and Shoalhaven artists and community based exhibitions. 

Exhibitions change every 6 to 8 weeks across four gallery spaces and the North Gallery features works from the Shoalhaven City Art Collection. 

 

Our community

We pride ourselves on fostering dynamic Public Programs, presenting art, cultural and community events aimed at audience development, accessibility, and education.

History

Located in the heart of Nowra NSW, Shoalhaven Regional Gallery was established in 2003 on the site of a former TAFE building where it was originally known as the Shoalhaven City Arts Centre & Regional Gallery. 

The building was refurbished by Shoalhaven City Council with funding support from NSW Ministry of the Arts and the Australian Government Regional Partnership Program. It was officially opened 28 February 2004 by Mayor, Councillor Greg Watson, accompanied by Senator Rod Kemp, Federal Minister for the Arts, and Councillor John Anderson, Chairperson of Shoalhaven Arts Board and Assistant Deputy Mayor.
