Salamanca Arts Centre

Salamanca Arts Centre (SAC) is currently seeking applications for inclusion in the Long Gallery 2026 Calendar :

We have limited dates remaining in 2026 :
28th May - 6th June 2026 (11 x Days total)
16th July - 5th August 2026 (21 Days total)

Lift Upgrades in 2026 

Applicants are advised that upgrades to the Lift (located in the Courtyard) are scheduled for sometime in 2026. We have requested that NRE, the State Department who is managing the new Lift Tender and Replacement process, schedule the proposed works from mid July until September 2026. To date we are yet to receive any confirmation from NRE as to the timing of the Lift Replacement Works. Once the Replacement Works commence, these will impact the Courtyard and the Venues adjacent to the Courtyard. The works will be noisy (at times), and there will be no Lift Access to Levels 1 or 2 within the Arts Centre.
Please consider these impacts if you are planning an exhibition / event from mid July - end of September 2026, but also keep in contact with us about updates regarding the proposed works.

Principally a visual arts exhibition space, the famous Long Gallery is the largest gallery space at Salamanca Arts Centre, yet has an intimacy and warmth that is hard to beat.

Originally a store for whaling products, then filled with can-labelling machinery during the jam factory days, the Long Gallery has provided the backdrop to countless exhibitions, conventions, balls, auctions, recitals, workshops, product launches and live performances. It is located on the first floor of the Centre.

For more information on exhibiting in the Long Gallery, including Venue Hire Rates for 2026 and the Conditions of Hire (PDF), please visit the SAC website prior to submitting your application.
