Council has endorsed plans to build the new Hamilton Gallery on the site of the current gallery and is moving forward with detailed designs.
The current building is no longer fit for purpose to display and store such valuable works with issues including lack of display space for larger exhibitions, storage limitations, climate control issues and limited space for community engagement.
A new gallery will attract more tourists to the shire, which will have positive outcomes for our local economy. It will also bring significant benefits to the regional arts community.
The construction of a new gallery is strongly supported by The Friends of Hamilton Gallery.
