Its doors may be temporarily closed to visitors but that hasn't stopped Newcastle Art Gallery bringing art to the city, commissioning new works to be displayed on the construction fencing around the site. More than 300 artists from across Australia put their names forward to take part in the street hoarding commission project, with Newcastle's Izabela Pluta one of four artists chosen to have their work presented on the temporary fencing. Proud Yuwi man Dylan Mooney from Brisbane, and Sydney-based artists Diana Baker-Smith and Agus Wijaya will also have their work on show to passers-by during the construction phase of the Art Gallery's major expansion project.
