Gallery director Caroline Geraghty said the new artwork gave people a taste of many different styles, techniques and themes that anyone could engage with and understand.
One of the exhibitions belongs to a young, emerging Indigenous artist Tyronne Hoerler, who is based in Wagga.
Ms Geraghty said his exhibition was about finding his way as a young Aboriginal man, who is both optimistic and uncertain of what his world is becoming.
It is the first time Mr Hoerler is showing his work at the gallery, which showcases a series of large-scale paintings.
While the gallery has emerging artists on display, Ms Geraghty said other exhibitions are by artists that the community have come to know.
"We have artists like Christian Bishop who has exhibited before and the community will feel a sense of familiarity," she said.
Mr Bishop said his exhibition was set up like an abandoned building site for people to weave in-and-out.
"I work and install art as a job, so this exhibition is escaping the white wall of the gallery," he said.
"It is looking at capitalist, post-colonial lands and rural areas changing to urban towns."
The seven new exhibitions will be on show at the gallery for 12 months.
