Gosford Regional Gallery and Edogawa Commemorative Garden

About the Gallery

The Gosford Regional Gallery and Edogawa Commemorative Garden is a one-hectare facility located within a picturesque 26-hectare public reserve fronting Brisbane Water. It is open seven days a week and admission is free. In addition to the three main art gallery spaces, there is a cafe, gift shop, community gallery and art studios, as well as a serene Japanese strolling garden set around a beautiful Koi pond. There is literally something for everybody: feeding the Koi fish in the Garden, enjoying an early morning breakfast at the café, browsing books in the shop, participating in art classes, or appreciating nationally significant exhibitions such as the Archibald Prize.
