The gallery is recognised for its finely curated exhibitions featuring nationally significant contemporary artists, many of whom share a link with the Hunter region. The annual Archibald Prize is eagerly anticipated by artists and audiences alike and this year we’re thrilled that Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery is the only gallery in the Hunter selected to host the popular touring showcase.

Visit before June 5 and view the 2015 Archibald Prize-winning portrait, Judo house pt 6 (the white bird), by Hunter-based artist Nigel Milsom, alongside other captivating, and  sometimes controversial works.
