The gallery saw about 77,000 people walk through the doors in 2018.
“We’re absolutely delighted with what we were able to achieve for our local community and visitors to the city,” gallery director Lauretta Morton said.
Newcastle Art Gallery attributes the growth partly to their 12 “world-class exhibitions” - 10 of which were curated and displayed exclusively at the gallery.
Highlights included the current exhibition ‘Olsen Ormandy’: a creative force’ and the Kilgour Prize 2018, featuring winning artist Natasha Walsh.
