    How did the closure help Artspace Mackay and our community?

    Artspace Mackay is a AAA-rated, international standard gallery space, that just celebrated its 20th birthday. These works ensure our regional gallery maintain our reputation as a highly professional institution with the ability to attract and secure high profile exhibitions, and care for our community's growing Art Collection. 

    What is a AAA rating?

    AAA standards refer to an institution's ability to maintain stable climate and security measures as part of its mission to care for its Art Collection and exhibitions. These are international standards that guide best practice in museum and galleries around the world. The new air conditioning system is an important investment to ensure we remain a recognised, best practice institution. Our new system uses up-to-date and energy efficient technologies ensuring the gallery's future.
