Granville Centre Art Gallery

About the Gallery

The Granville Centre opened in September 2020 by Cumberland City Council on the original Granville Community Centre site. The purpose-built centre houses a library, swimming pool and hireable community spaces as well as a new gallery space – Granville Centre Art Gallery. GCAG officially opened in November 2020 with its first exhibition Ngaliya Diyam co-curated by Dennis Golding and Rebekah Raymond which celebrated local Darug stories and First Nations histories. Situated moments from the Granville retail strip and its train station in Western Sydney, GCAG aims to connect with and reflect the diverse community that it sits within through engaging and innovative exhibitions, public programs and artist development opportunities.
