The Community Engagement Art Project is organised by the gallery as an outreach to its local community. It is open to artists in the region of Illawarra. The title for the 2019 Community Engagement Art Project is “Season of Love” and is taking place from 7 December 2019 to 8 March 2020. Art works consist of traditional or contemporary art forms and were created under the theme “What is Love?”, based on articles by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, founder of the Art Gallery.
