The Centenary Auditorium is on lower level 1 of the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ original south building, now known as Naala Nura.

One of two theatre spaces at the Art Gallery, along with the Domain Theatre, it’s perfect for a wide range of corporate events, including one- to two-day conferences or evening presentations.

The room offers comfortable, tiered seating for up to 90 guests and state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment.

During the day, hold your conference in the auditorium and use the function room for break-out sessions and catering.

In the evening, combine a presentation with a networking experience in one of the Art Gallery’s other event spaces – the auditorium is close to the 20th-century galleries – or with a viewing of an exhibition.
