Bayside Gallery Closure

We are undertaking maintenance works at the Brighton Town Hall which will impact access to the Bayside Gallery.

A new replacement air conditioning unit is required in the Brighton Town Hall as the existing unit has reached the end of its useful life. 

While the works are underway, the Gallery, located inside the Town Hall, will be closed to the public.

The new system will improve energy, efficiency and climate control at the Gallery which will allow Council to borrow works from state and national collections.

The Brighton Town Hall remains open as this part of the building will not be directly affected by the works.

The building works will commence in early October 2024 with the Brighton Historical Society’s space unavailable from December 2024 until mid-February 2025 and the Brighton Art Society relocated to Hurlingham Park at 2A Francis Street, Brighton East until March 2025. A range of alternative programming will be delivered during this time including a month-long outdoor pavilion in the Brighton cultural precinct, with Slow Art Collective in March/April 2025 and various events throughout the municipality. 

Timing 

The Gallery will be closed from 28 October 2024 and reopen in May 2025 with the Bayside Painting Prize.
