Since opening in 2000, Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre has grown into one of the most popular art centres in NSW, and even Australia. Located just 40 minutes south of Sydney CBD near the gateway to the Royal National Park, Hazelhurst is an inspiring arts oasis set amid 1.4 hectares of landscaped gardens. The combination of a major public gallery and community gallery with a complete arts centre, state-of-the-art theatrette, artist-in-residence and café is quite unique, and enables Hazelhurst to offer a comprehensive creative resource.
