Established in 1871, the Art Gallery of New South Wales is located in Sydney's The Domain adjacent to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and near the central business district, the Art Gallery acknowledges the original custodians of this land - the Gadigal of the Eora Nation.

The Art Gallery attracts over 1.4 million visitors annually and runs Australia's largest education program with over 90,000 student and teacher visits per year.

With the recent opening of our expanded art campus, the Art Gallery has a new state-of-the-art building located next to our existing and much-loved building.

Providing us with close to double the exhibition space, the expanded Art Gallery enables us to share more art with more people and provide more family, learning and educational programming for all our audiences.

We are seeking diverse, collaborative, supportive and brilliant individuals to work alongside our existing talent and build on our rich history to create an even more inspiring Art Gallery for the future.
