20th Dec 2019 – 13th Dec 2020
Ledger Gallery
The Benalla Art Gallery Collection – an incredible body of work spanning three centuries of Australian art – continues to grow and inspire new generations of art lovers.
With the Gallery having taken part in Creative Victoria’s Regional Digitisation Roadshow in 2019, there is now even greater opportunity to share the Collection with broader audiences.
Thanks to the funding and assistance awarded through the State Government, Benalla Art Gallery worked with professional photographers, collections staff and conservators to document the entire collection. The resulting images and records are being methodically refined and made publicly accessible through a new and improved Benalla Art Gallery website.
On the Up celebrates these landmark projects by ensuring a selection of the first 100 uploaded artworks are also up on the walls.
Works featured within the exhibition are an indication of the impressive breadth and quality of the Benalla Art Gallery Collection, and include a selection from both the Ledger and Bennett bequests, alongside numerous significant acquisitions which entered the Collection either by purchase, or as a gift from one of the Gallery’s many generous donors.
