Mission Gallery

Mission Gallery is an art exhibition space located in a former church building in the Castle area with high ceilings and large windows. The building houses an exhibition area, a retail section selling artworks, and an education room for workshops and classes.

The building was constructed in 1868 by architect Benjamin Bucknall as a church serving seafarers and remained a religious site for many decades. It was converted into an art gallery in 1977 and has operated as one since then.

The space shows contemporary art including paintings, installations, and photography from artists across the world and nearby. You can see different exhibitions throughout the year that reflect both local and broader artistic voices.

The space is divided into separate areas allowing visitors to view exhibitions, purchase artworks, and attend educational events. This layout helps you move comfortably between the different sections during your visit.

The building holds Grade II listed status, preserving its Victorian-era architectural features and character. This mix of historic structure and contemporary art use creates an interesting setting for those who enjoy both architecture and modern art.
