
Lovely relaxing area.

Enjoy outdoor dining and garden.

I love this place! Please could you open the cafe/restaurant at night?

A great asset for the Sutherland Shire and wider communities and a great learning centre.

More unknown artists!

A comments register for the young artists displayed here would be good - feedback for young artists.

An art materials store at discounted prices would be useful.

Very happy with the layout and range of facilities available.

It was a very pleasant experience.

Have always enjoyed Hazelhurst as it is - keep up the good work.

Very friendly - nice to come and check out the arts and have a coffee.

Very good community based affair.

Wonderful as it is.

Just keep up the good work with regular exhibits and school exhibitions.

I always enjoy my visits to Hazelhurst - the garden, exhibits, cafe and general atmosphere of energy and happiness - staff are always welcoming and helpful. Congratulations to you all!

Play equipment for children in view from cafe so families can have refreshments whilst they play. Would be a great improvement.

For today only: Please install recycling bins! 25 minutes is too long to wait for a sausage sandwich from the Lions Club - I know they do a good job though. Fabulous facilities. Need more parking. The band was fantastic.

Who chooses what you display for ArtExpress? Many wonderful pieces of work. Why the predominance of self-reflection works - not as many as in NSW Art Gallery. Thanks for the opportunity to view such inspiring works.

Keep up the good art!

A beautiful venue with a pretty garden area - just right for parents and grandparents to come with children.

Didn't know about it really. Very impressed. I'll be back.

Great as it is! Love the Cafe`.

Need air conditioning in studios. Too cold in ARTEXPRESS - freezing!

More ducks in the gardens. It's a great place! Thank you for bringing good art to the Shire.

A wonderful gallery.

It's a great place to visit.

Generally I enjoy the experience when visiting added expo's/classes are always fantastic.

It's a beautiful well presented gallery - a lovely space.

It has a lovely ambience.

Most impressed with the Pro Hart exhibition and the HSC artworks.

The garden is lovely and an important part of the whole atmosphere.

Relaxed atmosphere, interesting exhibits.

Would love to come more often when there are good exhibitions on there.

I was not aware of film nights, salsa night etc until my visit today. Perhaps broader advertising would raise awareness of these interesting events taking place in the gallery.

I come regularly and always enjoy my visit - to both the art and the restaurant, but do not come as often as I would like. Was planning to come to see Pro Hart exhibition but didn't think I'd have time. Was delighted that our school in service was to be held here!

Very nice atmosphere.

I liked all very much!

I would like to see Hazelhurst get more public exposure to attract further than the Shire residents. Advertising on TV for example when major exhibitions are shown and well known artists are exhibiting.

Fantastic Regional Gallery. Love coming here to do weekend workshops, look at exhibitions or just have lunch or coffee with friends.


Enjoy the range of courses run by Hazelhurst - have enrolled in digital media one - would enjoy more digital courses. Wonderful local facility. Great atmosphere.

Very nice. Looking forward to doing course with my friends. Nice & light & airy. Impressive art works on exhibit. Great to have something like this locally (except that I'm not a local).

Lovely grounds, well maintained. Attractive building. Only change I can think of is some shade in carpark.

Excellent. Grounds A1.

I thoroughly enjoy coming to Hazelhurst - it's a wonderful, relaxing, motivating place to enjoy, by myself or with friends.

More Wollongong artists.

Enjoyed it, but it doesn't seem to attract a "youth"/young adults audience (16 - 25's)? Would love to hear a jazz/world music group on weekends with the cafe`, on the grounds.

I am so pleased to have this in our community!

Activities or groups of art expression or drawing for under 5's. There is very little for under
5's in the Sutherland Shire (we have recently moved here!).

Art Express was very good, and its good to have it displayed locally.

Would love to enrol in beginners art (painting & drawing specifically), however I cannot make a 6pm - 9pm class. Would be great if you could cater to more time poor people and offer shorter classes at a later time eg. 7.30 - 8.30pm. I would definitely enrol in one of these midweek classes.

Food is expensive but delicious. Great shop and gallery. Love the variety of artwork to view.

Just in for a quick visit - beautiful gallery.

You should be very proud - it is a beautifully presented facility.

Leave it as it is!

It's perfect! Great place for lunch for all ages and kids can explore the gardens. Studios look very professional. Very inspirational place to visit. Always enjoy the student
(Hazelhurst student) exhibitions.

Attractive space.

Great place. Spacious and comfortable to enjoy all art.

A fine example of a district Regional Gallery, a pleasant atmosphere, relaxed setting, good facilities for classes and workshops for both young and old. A necessary and important addition to the culture of the district.


Cockroach on the floor.

Lovely building, gardens and atmosphere. A focal point for the Shire.

Love the garden and grounds. Well kept and laid out. Great with the cafe` and diverse activities.

Air conditioning was freezing!

I am sorry that it has taken so many years for me to venture here. It is just beautiful, the grounds, the gallery and the cafe. I will most definitely be back!

The Art Express work on display was an excellent exhibition. Much better than NSW Art
Gallery (same comment for the previous Art Express).Visitors to Hazelhurst walking through Community Gallery would not be aware that art work is for sale, when only tiny numbers are shown. More info about exhibition and labels would result in more sales.

Fireworks and Pro Hart worked well together.

HSC artworks need cool air conditioner as paper warping with heat.

Very well organised and easy to view all work.

It was an interesting mix of exhibitions.

Shows the non-commercial side of Pro Hart's art. Great variety with Fireworks exhibition.

I came to see the gallery on my parents recommendation and was happy when it coincided with the Pro Hart Retrospective.

I enjoy looking at the HSC works each year, but also enjoyed both the Pro Hart and
Fireworks exhibitions today.

Good to have community gallery in addition to the more professional regional gallery exhibitions.

The HSC works are just extraordinary. BRAVO!

We had a really great time. We wish you prosperity and success.

Excellent range of styles and media, well known and lesser known artists, and a clearer topic (the incendiary in Australia Art)
