Goulburn Regional Art Gallery holds a nationally significant collection of over 550 works of modern and contemporary Australian art. Since opening in 1982, we’ve continued to grow the Permanent Collection through acquisitions and generous donations. Acquisitions to the collection have strong links to the Gallery's exhibition history, key artists living and working in the region and key examples of outstanding contemporary art practice. It spans all media - painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, ceramics, video, public art, and new media.

The collection features work by some of Australia’s leading and most innovative artists, including Danie Mellor, Yvette Coppersmith, Ben Quilty, Katthy Cavaliere, Sharon Adamson and Janet Laurence. These works reflect the strength and diversity of contemporary practice, and the Gallery’s commitment to supporting artists and collecting with purpose.

Works are regularly on display in the Gallery and on loan to key partner institutions, while our micro gallery space, The Window, gives audiences a glimpse of the collection 24/7. We’re proud to safeguard a nationally significant collection that serves as a lasting resource for learning, engagement and creativity in the Goulburn Mulwaree region, now and into the future.

We thank all of the incredible artists and collectors who have gifted work to our permanent collection.
