Established in 1871 and located in the Domain precinct with extensive views of the Sydney Harbour, The Art Gallery of NSW (the Gallery) is significant cultural organisation which exhibits fine international and Australian art in one of the most beautiful art museums in the world. The Gallery is a unique place of experience and inspiration, with collections, exhibitions, programs, and research. 

The Art Gallery of New South Wales’s expansion, the Sydney Modern Project will create a new art museum experience across two buildings connected by a public art garden. Our new Gallery building, designed by SANAA an architectural firm based in Tokyo, Japan.  The Gallery will almost double the exhibition space, with seamless connections between indoor and outdoor spaces, delivering rich and diverse experiences for all our visitors. 

This exciting and unique opportunity is to seek a single caterer to provide catering services across all Gallery retail outlets and events. Included services for the newly upgraded Art Gallery Society Lounge under a separate management agreement.

The vision for our catering services, is to deliver a world class diverse choices for the café, restaurant, external kiosk and events to our customer base.

In addition, to the retail outlets the Gallery holds a huge number of events from corporates to weddings with events offering the most growth for any potential caterer. This partnership offers the chance for caterers to push the imagination to provide exceptional experiences, that can be shared by a diverse group of visitors against our amazing gallery spaces and Art.
