Bicentennial Creative Arts Centre
Highlights
Overview
Located in Gunnedah's vibrant Cultural Precinct, the Bicentennial Creative Arts Centre is a hub for creativity and community. Surrounded by key attractions including the Town Hall, Civic Cinema, Smithurst Theatre, Music Conservatorium, and Visitor Information Centre, it's the perfect place to immerse yourself in local culture.
The Centre features two galleries, operated by Gunnedah Shire Council and Arts Gunnedah, showcasing rotating exhibitions from local and regional artists. Expect an ever-changing display of artworks, plus workshops, gallery gatherings, and live performances throughout the year. The Centre also houses the Gunnedah Community Art Collection, with selected pieces on view across the precinct.
For events, the Centre offers an Art Studio, Courtyard Garden, Meeting Room, and a small kitchen, available for hire for workshops, seminars, and meetings.
The precinct's theme of 'water' is reflected in three striking artworks: the Rainbow Serpent Water Feature at the Civic Theatre, the Two Rivers Mosaic Mural near the Visitor Information Centre, and the Red River Gum mural overlooking a cosy coffee corner.
Whether you're exploring an exhibition, joining a workshop, or simply enjoying the artistic atmosphere, the Bicentennial Creative Arts Centre is a must-visit destination for art lovers in Gunnedah.
