Stop the cuts: Come support the Art Gallery of NSW
PSA members and supporters of the Art Gallery of NSW (AGNSW) are invited to this lunchtime event on Wednesday 27 August 2025 to protest the cuts to jobs and services announced by the NSW Government on 12 August 2025.
More than 50 frontline roles are set to be cut, placing future exhibitions and the gallery’s public programs at serious risk.
AGNSW staff will be walking out as group at 12:30pm. Please show your support by greeting them once they have walked down the building steps.
