Project Contemporary Artspace is open to the public and has art exhibitions with artworks for sale throughout the year. It is a not-for-profit, artist run initiative operated by a management committee made up of volunteers.
The Gallery was originally opened in 1995 by three local artists who recognised the need for artists of the Illawarra to exhibit and perform new work. Project was also registered as an Incorporated Association in 1995.
Project provides opportunities and support to a diverse range of emerging and existing local artists, gaining them exposure and professional experience.
The management committee and members curate an eclectic program of exhibitions and events throughout the year.
The Gallery is a large, open-plan industrial space in the heart of Wollongong, refurbished with professional hanging systems, lighting and plinths.
The Gallery is wheelchair accessible and has its own car park.
