About Geelong Gallery

Nestled in the vibrant city of Geelong, Victoria, lies a haven for art enthusiasts. Boasting an impressive collection of over 6,000 works spanning 150 years, it’s no secret that The Geelong Art Gallery has become one of Australia’s major regional galleries to explore and discover. It forms part of its Cultural Precinct, including institutions like the adjoining Library & Heritage Centre and Arts Centre, as well as the nearby Courthouse – creating a creative hub unparalleled within the region!

Geelong Gallery serves to bring an inclusive art experience that will enrich people’s lives. This goal is supported by four core pillars: advancing the community, amplifying economic benefit through tourism and events, connecting users towards equity & diversity initiatives, and providing greater access to collections and exhibitions. Geelong aims for these activities to collectively result in a more vibrant city with limitless learning opportunities for all its residents!
