Pier Gallery

A Waterfront Gallery at Brooke Street Pier, Hobart

{"text":"Pier Gallery is a contemporary art space at Brooke Street Pier in Nipaluna (Hobart), Tasmania, located at 12 Franklin Wharf on Hobart's historic waterfront. The gallery sits in an accessible spot within walking distance of the city's arts, dining, and heritage precincts, convenient for locals and visitors alike."}.

The gallery works differently from a conventional fixed space. It operates as a floating and hybrid venue, staying responsive to what's happening in contemporary art. The waterfront setting, with its water views and industrial character, creates an unusual backdrop for the exhibitions on show.

Specialising in Lens-Based and Contemporary Art

Pier Gallery works with lens-based art and contemporary practice. That's photography, video, digital media, and anything else built around images. The focus lets you see how artists tackle light, optics, and what they can do with a camera, which actually matters when you're looking at what's happening in art now.

The space pulls in artists and visitors keen on experimental imagery and the blurry line between documentary work, fine art photography, and multimedia. Programming tends to stay sharp, mixing local and international artists with emerging talent. Pier Gallery, Hobart, TAS 7000.

Exhibition Programming and What's On

Pier Gallery runs regular exhibitions. The website has sections tracking past shows and upcoming ones, plus a group directory and a review section that signals the place welcomes discussion and feedback about the work. You can stay in the loop about new exhibitions and announcements on Instagram (@piergallery_) or shoot an email to hello@pier.gallery if you want to find out what's on.
