Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery’s collection of artworks is in storage while the gallery is being refurbished.

We miss our public art Collection. We have created an online exhibition,
A Collection of Seasons.

We hope that you enjoy it as much as we’ve enjoyed curating it. We start with Summer.

SUMMER

— a time of abundance, of characteristic colours — of bluish light, 5000 ºK, compared with 3500 ºK of creamy European light ... of bleached and shimmering visions ... of blistering heat and languid days ... of buzzing insects and irritations ... of wild storms and terrifying fires.

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!

from My Country, Dorothea Mackellar, 1907
