Come curious. Leave inspired.

Horsham Regional Art Gallery presents an ever-evolving program of exhibitions and events for locals and visitors alike.

From its establishment in 1967 as a single-room gallery within Horsham Library, to its current two-storey home in the Horsham Town Hall, the story of Horsham Regional Art Gallery is deeply intertwined with the story of artistic and cultural life of Horsham and the wider Wimmera region.

Through dynamic exhibitions, public programs, events, and education offerings, the Gallery supports the local community by creating opportunities for learning, participation, creativity, and connection.

Our collection

Since 1967, the Gallery has developed a nationally significant collection of Australian photography, featuring works by photographers including Nicolas Caire, J. W. Lindt, Olive Cotton, Frank Hurley, David Moore and Carol Jerrems, alongside contemporary artists such as Bill Henson, Tracey Moffatt, Trent Parke and Fiona Foley.

The collection also celebrates the Wimmera, with works by artists connected to the region and artworks exploring its landscapes, people and stories.

Paintings and works on paper were significantly shaped by the generosity of Mack Jost AM, whose gifts and bequest brought works by many significant Australian artists into the collection.
