Opening celebrations - NEW Art Gallery NSW North Building


Nine days of free art, music, performances and talks to celebrate the opening of the new North building.

Join the Art Gallery of NSW for a free program of exciting events and cultural experiences as they celebrate the opening of Sydney’s newest landmark – the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ stunning new building, designed by award-winning architects SANAA.  

A huge range of performances, talks, tours and workshops is set to bring many forms of art to life. Highlights include a concert in the Domain headlined by Grammy-nominated international pop star Ellie Goulding, supported by Australian artists Meg Mac and Electric Fields; a nightly drone show over Woolloomooloo Bay created by Kamilaroi artist Reko Rennie; and a series of conversations with artists, creatives and thought leaders held at the Art Gallery.

Entry to the Art Gallery and all opening events is free.

You DO need to book a timed and dated ticket to visit on the opening weekend (3 and 4 December 2022) because capacity is limited.
