Community asked for ideas about gallery extension

The Orange community will have the opportunity to view and give feedback about architect's plans to extend the Orange Regional Gallery.

The proposed expansion of the Orange Regional Gallery will double the building's exhibition and storage space, creating a new triangular-shaped wing between the current building and Peisley Street.

This Orange Regional Gallery extension project is proudly funded by the NSW Government. In August 2018, Orange Regional Gallery was granted $4,052,990 through the first round of the Regional Cultural Fund.

Under the agreement, the Gallery will extend the existing facility by 1070sqm incorporating a new gallery exhibition space, new storage and conservation areas and a theatrette. Construction will be completed by the end of 2020.

A community information session will be held at 5.30pm on Wednesday 29 May 2019 in the Council Chambers, Orange City Council.

The purpose of the meeting is to present the scope of the extension project, show initial architectural options and invite community feedback. Architect Sam Marshall will be talking the community through the initial design options.
