Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery [LMCAG] is an exceptional cultural and tourist destination offering a range of experiences for visitors of all ages and interests.

The gallery’s innovative and relevant programming strategy presents noteworthy touring shows alongside gallery-curated exhibitions featuring nationally significant artists, many of whom share a connection with the Hunter. Strong and respectful Aboriginal projects and exhibitions are integrated within the program.

To extend LMCAG’s lead role in the cultural life of Lake Macquarie, Lake Macquarie City Council [LMCC] constructed an art education facility on site. Designed by Colin Still, the renovation features a purpose-built room with state-of-the-art seminar facilities and equipment for practical workshops. The new space hosts many lively community workshops, as well as lectures, masterclasses, seminars and also corporate functions.

This forward thinking action affirms Lake Macquarie City Council’s commitment to culture and education in the area, enabling the gallery to meet the demand for much needed services.
