Gallery76
Sydney's only dedicated textile and fibre art gallery, showcasing the work of Australian and international artists through a dynamic program of exhibitions and events. Opened in 2017 when the NSW Embroiderers Guild transformed its century-old HQ into a bright, contemporary space, the non-profit facility includes galleries, workshop rooms, a historic collection and specialist textile art library.
We have some very special and tantalising exhibits booked in the future and hope to have captured your interest and hearts. Plenty of advanced notice with many months of exhibits to look forward to. We are located at 76 Queen Street Concord West and welcome visitors weekdays from 9am - 4pm and on weekends from 10am to 2pm (public holidays excluded). Drop in to also have a look at the range of handmade artisan gifts.
Current Exhibitions
Doorknobs - a textile journey
Exhibition dates: 25 September - 20 October 2026
What comes to mind when you think of a doorknob? A doorway to another room, another world, another time - or even your inner world?
The Design Divas are 12 contemporary textile artists who met while studying at the Embroiderers' Guild NSW in 2019. United by a love of stitching and creating, they continue to share their artistic journey together.

Upcoming Exhibitions
Wild Things at Risk
By Jane Theau and Jo Mellor-Stuart
Exhibition dates: 23 October - 17 November 2026
This exhibition is about beauty and wildness, and loss and longing. It brings together two artists whose practices celebrate the majesty of the wild world and worry over its disappearance.
Many of the works marry the ancient, slow, considered art of embroidery with the instant satisfaction offered by the digital image. From the Tasmanian wilderness to the conflagrating NSW coast, and from the barren beauty of Broken Hill to unseen underwater habitats, these objects remind us what is at risk.
Jane Theau's practice encompasses sculpture and installation, collaboration with performers, curation, and the facilitation of community art projects.
Jo Mellor-Stuart is an artist and PhD candidate. Her practice spans expanded textiles, installation, painting, and film, grounded in socially engaged art

Becoming Now
By Barbara Dawson
22 October - 16 November 2026
Plants form the central language of this exhibition, acting as vessels for the human journey to explore endurance, presence, and emotional resonance. Working across stylised charcoal drawings, stitched textiles, and stitched photographic silk pieces, Barbara examines the tension between strength and vulnerability
With an enduring contemporary practice defined by a consistent exhibiting, Barbara's current work focuses deeply on human growth - interpreting lifelong change not as decline, but as a continual state of becoming. She works from a coastal studio within the Booderee (Jervis Bay) region.
