Benalla Art Gallery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Benalla Art Gallery is a public art gallery in the regional Victorian city of Benalla.

The Benalla Art Gallery is a free, public gallery in Benalla, which opened in 1975.[1] Victoria's Herald Sun newspaper described it in 2013 as one of Victoria's top ten regional galleries, with a "striking modernist building".[2] The gallery's original design was reduced in size, leading to crowding and storage problems, culminating in an expansion proposal being canvassed in 2013.[1] In 2013 a new annual or biannual art prize was announced, for a work of the naked human figure.[3] Artists whose work is held by the Benalla Art Gallery include Constance Stokes.[4]

The gallery is a member of the Public Galleries Association of Victoria.[5]
