Warwick Art Gallery was officially opened on the 18th of February 1990.  In 2012 the Gallery was extended to provide a workshop and storage space.

This multi functional space has vastly improved the Gallery’s capacity for public programming with weekly art group meetings and regular workshops and artists talks creating a vibrant atmosphere.

The Gallery's facilities support an exhibitions program that includes a mix of touring exhibitions and locally generated exhibitions. The Gallery is a Category A facility and a member of Queensland's regional gallery network and Museums Australia.

In 2004 the Gallery initiated a community project to breathe new life into the central business district following a distruptive period of streetscaping.  The initiative was named Jumpers and Jazz in July.  Now a significant community festival, Jumpers and Jazz in July is a major annual project for Warwick Art Gallery in partnership with Warwick Tourism and Events.
