Maitland Regional Art Gallery (MRAG) offers a diverse range of art experiences for audiences of all ages and abilities. From engaging exhibitions to fun and educational Arts Health programs, MRAG provides a platform for connecting with art and ideas through the work of talented artists and their Collection. Visitors can also choose from a selection of over 500 artisan items, including jewellery, books, scarves, and homewares, making it a one-stop destination for art enthusiasts and gift shoppers alike.
With a rich history dating back to the 1850s, MRAG showcases Australian art spanning from the past to the present day. The gallery’s collection features a mix of historic and archival items, sculptures, and contemporary art pieces, offering a comprehensive view of the country’s artistic evolution. Situated in a building with origins tracing back to 1830, MRAG’s physical space itself narrates a story of industrial growth, adding a unique dimension to the overall art experience.
As a service of Maitland City Council and supported by the NSW Government, MRAG is committed to fostering creativity and cultural appreciation within the community. By acknowledging the Wonnarua People as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land, the gallery demonstrates a deep respect for indigenous heritage and a dedication to inclusivity and diversity in its programming and operations.
