A bright coloured acrylic artwork by artist renae lamb. An acknowledgment to country is written over the top that reads: ​The University Galleries acknowledges Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this information may contain images or names of people who have since passed away.​

The background is a painting of Wiradjuri/Wongaibon artistRenae Lamb's titled "Pumngarrawan".

The University Galleries are committed to creating collaborative opportunities for our students, staff and the public to connect with art and artists. We aim to foster cultural understanding and appreciation through the visual environment of the University, as well as encourage the intersection between art, research and  collaboration.

We are responsible for the development and care of the University’s Art Collection as well as the curation of a varied and dynamic annual exhibition and public program. Partnering with local and regional cultural and community organisations is an active commitment to enrich our programs and offerings to our student, staff and community.

The University Galleries firmly believe that First Nations voices should be embedded within our program and practices, and work closely with the Wollotuka Institute, First Nations curators, exhibitors, and communities to do this. We continue to develop our substantial holding of First Nations work in the Art Collection and to provide education and guidance around the importance of the Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property Protocol.

The University Galleries are anchored across three physical exhibition spaces – Watt Space Gallery in the NUspace precinct as well as both the University Gallery and the Senta Taft Hendry Museum located at the Callaghan campus.
