Artistic Program

Applying to Exhibit

The NRCG welcomes exhibition proposals from artists, designers, curators, community and cultural groups in all art forms that display innovative ideas and approaches to contemporary arts and cultural practice.

Applications are accepted all year round and assessed once a year, at the end of August, for the following year’s exhibition period. Exhibitions are rotated every eight weeks.

The NRCG features four professional exhibition spaces and works with both emerging and established artists to support professional development opportunities.

Apply online via the ‘Apply Now’ section of the NRCG website nrcgballina.com.au
