Across three exhibition spaces, the program showcases the work of regional artists alongside work by national and internationally renowned artists and national touring exhibitions from across Australia.
Established in 1987, Wangaratta's unique regional gallery is housed in a heritage building located in the creative arts precinct. The spacious interior and the decorative timber ceiling offers a distinctive and rare experience for the gallery visitor.
Wangaratta Art Gallery has a particular collection emphasis on textile art developed through the most significant acquisitive award for textile art in Australia, the Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award. The gallery also collects small sculpture, significant works of art from and about the north-east Victoria region and works by state and national artists of significance. The Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award (WCTA) is a biennial award and exhibition that celebrates the diversity and strength of Australia's contemporary textile artistry.
