Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre

Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre

Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre is a focal point for visual arts & craft activity in the Sutherland Shire and Southern Sydney generally.

Located just 40 minutes south of Sydney CBD near the gateway to the Royal National Park, Hazelhurst is an inspiring arts oasis set amid 1.4 hectares of landscaped gardens. This spectacular arts complex has been specifically designed to encourage both passive and active participation by the whole community. The combination of a major public gallery and community gallery with a complete arts centre, state-of-the-art theatrette, artist-in-residence and café is quite unique, and enables Hazelhurst to offer a comprehensive creative resource.

Over 15 national and international travelling exhibitions are presented in the regional gallery annually, whilst the community gallery exhibits and sells local artistsâ?? work in a regularly changing program. A vibrant Arts Centre with seven studios including a fully equipped New Media studio, print workshop and ceramics studio, are used for day and evening classes and school holiday workshops. The original Hazelhurst cottage on the grounds is utilised as an artist-in-residence space. The theatrette hosts a regular programme of special events including films, performances and lectures.

Located within the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre, the gallery shop offers a wide selection of gifts from finely crafted ceramics, jewellery, glassware and textiles to innovative toys, specialised books, art supplies and much more.

In the heart of the complex, the gallery café is the perfect place to relax with an espresso or enjoy a delicious meal on the terrace overlooking the picturesque gardens.
