UTS Gallery and Art Collection

This information is current as at January 2008. The latest information is available from the UTS Gallery.

The UTS Gallery is a dedicated public gallery located on Level 4 of the Peter Johnson Building (Building 6, City campus), 702 Harris Street, Ultimo. The Gallery presents regularly changing exhibitions of art and design, incorporating curated, solo and collaborative projects across a broad range of media. The program is focused on critical practices that reflect and engage with current dialogues surrounding cultural production.

Exhibitions at the UTS Gallery present innovative work by professional practitioners based locally, nationally and internationally, and are supported through the development of related public program, education and publishing activities.

The UTS Art Collection performs a key role in the University community and the wider public, creating the opportunity to appreciate and interact with significant works of art. The Collection comprises a diverse range of paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures primarily by late 20th century and contemporary Australian artists. The works are displayed in public spaces and rotated throughout University campuses. The Collection is constantly growing and is gaining industry recognition through an active acquisition and donation program of contemporary artworks.

The UTS Art Collection and Gallery make essential contributions to the educational mission, cultural life and amenity of the University.

The Art Collection accepts donations and gifts under the Cultural Gifts Program (formerly the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme). The Collection's publication, 'Points of View', is available upon request.

The UTS Gallery is available for functions and special events.
