venue hire

The Milk Factory Art Gallery and Exhibition Space opened in July 2005 with the dual aim of providing art lovers with a venue in which to view contemporary artwork as well as offering a unique space for exhibitors to profile their works.

The original Milk Factory was built in 1921 primarily as a depot for local farmers to manufacture dairy products.  Over time the factory has had many uses. Encompassing a floor area of over 90 square metres and with over 7 metre high ceilings this impressive space is ideal for exhibiting large works of art as well as sculpture and installations. 


The Gallery is situated in the heart of Bowral’s CBD, within 1 ½ hours drive from most parts of Sydney, Canberra and Wollongong. Solo exhibitions are organised for invited artists from all areas throughout the year as well as mixed and group shows.  This includes all mediums from original works to printmaking, ceramics, photography and sculpture. 

Particular encouragement is given to original works sourced from overseas.

The Art Gallery and Exhibition Space is available for short term hire for exhibitions/uses that are suitable. The Milk Factory Gallery is opened as advertised or by appointment.

In 2007 additional space will become available within the building.  This space will be primarily for artistans seeking to rent areas of varying sizes to exhibit their own works on a semi-permanent basis.  These spaces will be available on both ground and mezzanine levels and will be supervised by Gallery staff daily. In addition there will be a Gallery Shop and a small coffee shop/restaurant.
