Artspace re-opens on 15 December after a multi-million-dollar redevelopment transforming The Gunnery in Sydney’s Woolloomooloo into a landmark multi-platform contemporary art centre.
Building on forty years of growth and dynamism, Artspace will occupy all three floors of The Gunnery for the first time, providing the space for this leading institution to continue the production and presentation of contemporary art in the Asia Pacific by driving ambitious programming with expanded exhibition galleries and project spaces, increased studio residencies, an accessible archive and multipurpose area, and learning studio.
