About Ipswich Art Gallery

With the grand launch of Ipswich Art Gallery in 1951, a new chapter was written for art enthusiasts to explore and celebrate its beauty. After more than three decades, this beloved destination relocated in 1980 with an added bonus: it gained its first professional director! In 1999, after extensive consideration by the local community and generous donations from The Ipswich Arts Foundation, the gallery made yet another move back into beautiful Town Hall – completely restored just like before.

Ipswich Art Gallery is the pulse of art and heritage in the community. This dynamic cultural centre brings together an array of art exhibitions, social displays, workshops, performances and family-friendly activities. We strive to create meaningful experiences for people from all walks of life, engaging them with diverse contemporary practices while preserving our unique local history.
