Since its inception in 1973, the Horsham Regional Art Gallery has specialised in the collection of Australian photography. Commenced at a time when photography was just beginning to gain recognition in Australia’s public galleries, Horsham Regional Art Gallery’s photographic collection has since grown into one of national significance.
Our exhibition program brings the best in Australian art practice to the Wimmera and celebrates our unique and diverse community and the environment.
The refurbishment, expansion and modernisation of the Horsham Regional Art Gallery has cemented it as an icon of visual arts. Reconnect with the Mack Jost gift of Australian Painting and Works on Paper. Explore the Wimmera through its artists and our nationally significant collection of Australian photography.
The Gallery is governed by a Committee of Management and managed by Horsham Rural City Council.
Permanent Collection
The Horsham Regional Art Gallery Collection has been developing since 1972, and is funded through the Horsham Art Gallery Trust Fund. Our collection is built around three focal points: Australian Photography, The Wimmera And Its Artists and The Mack Jost Collection of Australian Painting and Works on Paper.
Highlights of our collection can be found presented within our suite of first floor galleries which include the historic Horsham Council Chamber.
