Regional Collection
The Regional Collection consists of paintings, ceramics, prints, photographs, sculptures, drawings and mixed media works that are of the region or by artists of or from the region. The region encompasses all of the Clarence Valley and includes the Northern Rivers, the northern area of the Mid North Coast and the eastern edge of the New England Tablelands.
Works are acquired into this collection from exhibitions, gifts, commissions and donations. This growing collection of regional art is diverse and widely represented and sustains and records the region’s cultural identity and heritage, including our Aboriginal culture and heritage.
