The Collection

Established in 1972 with the first acquisitions from the biennial 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.

The Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery continues to acquire works by Australian artists for the Southern Downs Regional Council collection.  Works are acquired through the biennial art festival, donations, bequests and purchases.
