ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
After more than a decades experience working in both regional and commercial gallery contexts, Kate Hofman acquired Weswal in 2021.
Kate was Creative Industries Student of the Year at North Coast TAFE in 2012, where she studied Museums Practices and Arts Administration.
Prior to her gallery career Kate worked in property sales and studied Fashion Design at East Sydney Technical College (now NAS) in the early 2000’s.
She is also a self declared ‘ambitious amateur ceramicist’ in her (rare!) spare time.
Kate is passionate about supporting opportunities for artists and designers, and aims to continue to cultivate Weswal Gallery’s reputation as a premier cultural destination in the New England.
ABOUT THE GALLERY
Originally opened in 1981 by ceramicist Frances West and Marcia Schofield, Weswal Gallery maintains a reputation as a fine art gallery specialising in showcasing works from emerging to established local, regional and national contemporary Australian artists.
With full street frontage and easy parking, the gallery offers a large bright and open planned exhibition space that changes shows every three weeks.
The gallery Design Store stocks a selective range of Australian made artisan products including ceramics, glass, wood, jewellery and homewares.
Situated at the top of Brisbane Street, the gallery is just 2 minutes drive from Tamworth CBD.
Weswal Gallery shares the premises with Deva Cacao Chocolate Cafe, a multi award winning chocolate cafe serving delicious coffee, organic hand made chocolate, desserts and house baked pastries.
Weswal Gallery acknowledges the Gomeroi/Kamilaroi people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which we operate. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living in and visiting our region.
