Overview
The Singleton Arts and Cultural Centre (SACC) is a community-based and non-profit public gallery, which offers more than 300 metres squared of exhibition space and two studio workshops.
The Centre’s innovative annual program provides engaging exhibitions of contemporary art by local, regional, national, and international artists, also hosting a range of related public events, lectures, activities and workshops for all ages. SACC is home to the Singleton Civic Art Collection and is committed to the exhibition, extension and preservation of collected works.
SACC is located in Singleton’s Townhead Park precinct along with the Visitor Information Centre and the adjoining ParkView Café, which overlooks the children’s playground and bike track.
SACC is built on the traditional land of the Wonnarua, Wanaruah people. Established in response to community request, the Centre’s construction was completed in 2021. The AUD4.08 million project was funded by a AUD2.787million NSW Government grant from Create NSW with the remainder provided by Singleton Council.
