The Kunsthalle St. Gallen was founded in 1985. From 1988 a location was moved to at Wassergasse 24. In 1990 the city of St. Gallen approved an annual contribution.

The property at Wassergasse 24 had to be vacated at the end of 1992 due to demolition, and the art gallery moved to Davidstrasse 40.

Its first artistic director was Josef Felix Müller. The German curator Dorothea Strauss was the first female curator at the Kunsthalle from 1996 to 2001. Their program was increasingly geared towards international art creation. Gianni Jetzer headed the Kunsthalle from 2001 to 2006 and then moved to the Swiss Institute Contemporary Art in New York .
Giovanni Carmine has been director since 2007.

The Kunsthalle Sankt Gallen is a member of the Association of Swiss Museums (VMS) and the Association of Swiss Institutions for Contemporary Art (VSIZK).
