Haven Gallery

Haven Gallery is a multi sensory playground for art, sound, movement and human expression. Inside the reimagined former Woolworths building, the entire space has been transformed into a living artwork that shifts with light, colour and atmosphere. Immersive installations blend physical space with digital imagination, while the transformed streetscape of Haven City invites you to wander, interact and discover something new at every turn. The experience is playful, welcoming and immersive, offering a world that invites creativity rather than simply displaying it.

Across the year we host exhibitions, performances, workshops and creative experiences designed to spark curiosity and connection. Haven Gallery is a place for families, adults, couples, travellers and art lovers who enjoy exploring at their own pace. Whether you come to lose yourself in the sensory environment, participate in a creative moment or enjoy the space with others, Haven Gallery offers a cultural experience shaped by community, imagination and the joy of shared discovery.
