The Art Gallery Kurnell is run by a cooperative of nine local artists. Situated on the waterfront near Botany Bay Kamay National Park it has been open since 2008.Current Members:
Noel Carrigg, Monica Hoban, Janette Rigby-Sammut, Olga Kolesnik, Michael Rogers, Jana Blasco, Doug Chapman, Jan Schuster-Callus, Richard and Astrid Greens.
As individuals we have won many art awards and had paintings hung in prestigious art shows around the nation. The gallery is run as a co-op which means each artist is in charge of their own work and what they display. This gives us the freedom to be creative. We all contribute to the way in which the gallery is run; anytime you come to view our art there will be an artist working in the gallery. The Art Gallery is in a lovely position on the edge of the historic part of Botany Bay on the waterfront, near the National Park, which makes it an ideal place to visit. Come and wander around the gallery to see unique, original art. View various paintings including watercolours and drawings, photography, crafts and gift cards. See a painting demonstration in progress. Have coffee in the cafés next door and stroll along the beach path to visit Captain Cook's landing place.
Open 10am to 4pm weekends. We are happy to open weekdays by appointment. Plenty of parking near the Gallery.
Address: 6 Prince Charles Parade, KURNELL NSW 2231
