The Rockingham Arts Centre (RAC) was refurbished in January 2022. The refurbishments upgraded the interior of the RAC to strengthen the flexibility and function of the venue for users, lift the quality of art exhibitions, and improve wayfinding between the RAC and the nearby Gary Holland Community Centre (GHCC).
Key improvements to the venue were a new hanging system, upgraded lighting in the gallery, refurbished and repainted internal walls without visual distractions, dedicated storage spaces throughout, and a wash-out sink suitable for a variety of art mediums. A shade sail was also been installed in the courtyard.
Two large swinging walls and ceiling mounts were installed in mid-September 2022 to finalise the upgrades.
The venue consists of a:
- B category boutique gallery space.
- multi-use room for art workshops, smaller and overflow exhibitions, and pop up artisan shops.
- studio space which can accommodate one to two artists for short-term hire and artist in residency opportunities.
