Our Collection is Online!



The Grafton Regional Gallery's collection is online. Check our website and let us know what you think of it! It took a year to get the project completed as we had to stocktake, photograph and create new image files for our artworks.


Not all our artworks are up. Where an artist has multiple works we post two or three up and for our beautiful O'Grady Collection we posted a selection from over 2,ooo items. Enjoy!

Who is going to win the 2011 CVIAA?




Danielle Hurford won the 2009 Clarence Valley Indigenous Art Award. Who is going to win the $5,000? The exhibition is up for a week before being judged by Bruce McLean, Associate Curator of Indigenous Art, Queensland Art Gallery (pictured). Bruce announces the winner and the highly commended award (worth $1,000) at 10.30am Wednesday 2 November at the gallery.








In the meantime the staff are running a raffle. Guess who the winner is and you could win a Jacaranda Hamper full of goodies to help you celebrate the Jacaranda Festival.








The 2011 CVIAA will be open to the public from 10am Wednesday 26 October so come in and do your selection.








Check out how your selection compares to the judges - we will be blogging the outcome!
