This is wonderful news !

Something special is coming to Bendigo this spring.

From late August, Bendigo Art Gallery will open the doors of Bendigo Town Hall for a new pop‑up residency, Bendigo Art Gallery at the Town Hall.

Across 2026 and 2027, audiences can look forward to free large‑scale, site‑specific exhibitions by contemporary Australian and international artists in the Main Hall, immersive video installations, hands‑on workshops for families and schools, and rare opportunities to explore beautifully restored heritage rooms not usually open to the public.

While our View Street home continues its redevelopment, we’re creating new ways to experience art in the heart of Bendigo.

More details coming soon. We can’t wait to welcome you inside.
