Swan Hill Regional Art Gallery

About

Swan Hill Regional Art Gallery offers a lively program of changing exhibitions as well as displaying works from the permanent collection and from local artists. An ever-evolving calendar of events is organised, ranging from school holiday programs and art workshops, to live outdoor music and concerts featuring our magnificent 1923 Steinway & Sons grand piano. The Gallery is a program of Swan Hill Rural City Council. Staff and volunteers strive to deliver inspiring, challenging and ultimately rewarding programs for our visitors. The Gallery’s permanent collection includes paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures from 1970, with special interest in Australian Naïve art, works on paper and pieces relating to this region. In keeping with this theme, the Gallery hosts the prestigious biennial National Print and Drawing Acquisitive Award. In the past 12 months the gallery hosted 20 exhibitions totalling 700 exhibition days, including collection shows, regional artists and inbound touring exhibitions. The gallery also managed five outreach exhibitions to neighbouring communities. There were 11,815 visitors to the gallery with an average of 1,200 people visiting each of the 20 exhibitions offered.
