For more intimate business gatherings, such as VIP client hosting or staff experiences, the Art Gallery also offers group dining at its two restaurants. MOD Dining provides vibrant Asian fusion banquets, while the Art Gallery Restaurant, Crafted by Matt Moran showcases local produce and fine Australian wines. You can pair a dining experience with a personal guided tour of the Art Gallery’s collection or a major ticketed exhibition. Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2025 and Yolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala, which showcases the extraordinary artists of Yirrkala in north-east Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, are two of the highlight exhibitions at the Art Gallery this winter.
