The Gallery is a membership-based not-for-profit organisation run by an active and passionate team of volunteers.

Income is derived from our membership fees and through rental of our exhibition space together with commission on sales and donations.

We support local artists of all modalities and at all levels. If you are located outside the region and would like to exhibit, please get in touch.

The Gallery is situated in what was the Pilot's Residence which is a heritage listed building and part of the Maritime Precinct of South West Rocks.

Our exhibition spaces are named after the Pilots who guided vessels to safe harbour and lived in the house in the days of sailing ships.
