The Friends are an important part of the Gallery's vibrant social life. They aim to strengthen the link between the Gallery and the local community.

Through a variety of events and activities, members get to nurture, develop and maintain their interest in the arts with like-minded people.

You can meet new people in a creative, friendly and social environment, while staying in the know about local art.

The Friends is open to all members of the public. Funds raised help to support a number of Gallery cultural programs including Collection development and conservation, as well as supporting local artists.

The Friends are proudly sponsored by Tyrrell's Wines and the Novotel Wollongong Northbeach.
