$500 plus $5 per attendee plus GST

Security and technical support are not included.

As the Academy Galleries are within the Wharf Office Apartments Building, with residential neighbours directly overhead, we require events to be finished by 11 pm and regret that we cannot accept any function that will involve loud music.

Societies, businesses, groups or artists can hire a gallery for private exhibitions. Our smaller LightSpace Gallery could be just the right space for your exhibition needs. Standard hire rate is $140 per day plus GST - minimum hire four days.
