Chan Contemporary Artspace
The Chan Building was part of a series of administrative structures built in Darwin in the post-war period. Between 1990 to the end of 1994, the building was the home of the Northern Territory Government Legislative Assembly while the current Parliament House was under construction.[1] The building was then used for a variety of purposes and in 1999 underwent a major refit of $1.4m when Darwin hosted APEC 2000.[2] In 2010 the Northern Territory government announced that the site would become the location of a comtemporary art gallery.[3] In the 2015 Budget the Northern Territory government announced a dedicated visual art gallery in Darwin’s historic Chan Building.[4]
