Jindabyne Art Gallery

Where Creativity Meets the Mountains


 Step into a world of colour, inspiration, and connection at the Jindabyne Art Gallery. Nestled in the heart of the Snowy-Monaro region, we’re more than a gallery – we’re a vibrant hub for art, culture, and community.

 Discover stunning works from local and regional artists, explore exhibitions that celebrate creativity, and take part in workshops designed to spark imagination and joy. Whether you’re an art lover, a curious visitor, or someone looking for a fresh experience, the gallery is your go-to destination.

 Our mission is simple: RESET. REFRESH. RECOVER. Through art, we foster social connection, support mental wellbeing, and create opportunities for expression. From school showcases to art therapy programs, we’re building a space where everyone belongs and proving that creativity heals and inspires.

 Come for the art, stay for the atmosphere. Life is thriving in 2026 – and so is creativity.


History of the Jindabyne Art Gallery – From Challenge to Creativity

 The Snowy-Monaro region has seen its share of challenges – years of drought tested our farmers; the devastating 2019/2020 bushfires closed our area to the world and then came the global pandemic.

 Tourism, the lifeblood of our community, came to a standstill. Businesses struggled, isolation weighed heavily, and the need for connection and creativity became clear.

 Amid these trials, a spark of hope emerged. Conversations about the lack of an art gallery turned into action. With a micro-grant from South-East Arts and the passion of local artists, the Jindabyne Art Gallery was born. What started with $1000 and a dream has grown into a vibrant cultural hub.

 Today, in 2026, life feels renewed. Our gallery is thriving, offering a space where art and community intersect. We’ve hosted school exhibitions, launched workshops that fill up fast, and created opportunities for artists to reconnect with their craft. Seniors volunteer, locals gather, and visitors discover a new side of the Snowy Mountains beyond sport and adventure.  For too long, Art & Culture  have been ignored in favour of sport and outdoor activities. There are many people who are not able to take part in sports offered in our region for many reasons –people who are less mobile, the disabled who can’t access outdoor activities, financial limitations and those who prefer being involved in art and culture.

  The Jindabyne Art Gallery isn’t just about paintings and photographs – it’s about people, stories, and a community that turned hardship into hope. The future is bright, and we’re opening the door wide to art and culture in the Snowy-Monaro region. Recognizing the pioneering spirit of those who first surveyed and settled this area, laying the foundations for the community we have today.


 

The Jindabyne Art Gallery acknowledges the First Peoples, Traditional Custodians, first artists and creatives of Ngarigo land. We recognise their continuing connection to the snowy mountains, land, waters and community of which we continue to be inspired. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
