Art Gallery

PACC is dedicated to fostering innovation and inclusivity in the arts, with an annual program showcasing vibrant local and national contemporary artworks. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in thought-provoking exhibitions and explore the brand-new retail space, offering unique treasures crafted by local artisans.

Nestled in the picturesque Hunter Valley, PACC stands as a beacon of cultural enrichment, inviting visitors to engage with the region's artistic heritage and vibrant creative community. Since its grand opening in October 2023, marked by a captivating showcase of works by esteemed indigenous artist Uncle Les Elvin, generously loaned by the public, PACC continues to captivate audiences with its dynamic cultural offerings.

The Art Gallery at PACC, occupying the second floor, boasts 200 square meters of exhibition space adorned with 57 meters of versatile wall hanging area. Retaining its historic character through features such as steel supports, pressed metal ceilings, and polished tallowwood floors, the gallery serves as a captivating backdrop for a diverse range of socially engaged exhibitions, workshops, and public programs.

The Art Gallery and Makers Space are new havens for art enthusiasts and creators a like. The Art Gallery is perfectly lit to showcase art exhibitions, from painters and sculptors to illustrators, photographers and mixed media. There is a media room which also allows digital artists to display film, music and photography on a large screen. Our vision extends beyond the Gallery walls with the Makers Space where creatives can discover, create and connect through art and expression.
