Collection
Stanthorpe is privileged to have an Art Gallery of this size and quality in such a small town. Established in 1972 with the first acquisitions from the biennial Art Festival (now the Stanthorpe Art Prize), the collection has grown to almost 900 pieces, representing the diversity of Australian art practice through the wide ranging mediums of fibre/ textile, painting, ceramics, works on paper and sculpture. A number of internationally recognised Australian artists are represented in the collection with selected works having great significance in their oeuvres. William Robinson, Jon Molvig, Margaret Olley, Charles Blackman are present with artists such as Gordon Bennett, Barbara Schey and Gwyn Hanssen Pigott having pivotal works represented. The collection is valued at $4 million.
Street Art
There are many works of art on the streets of Stanthorpe & surrounds. You can find a list of the works and a map on our Street Art page.
