Founded in 1904, the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery (BHRAG) is the oldest regional gallery in NSW. And just as compelling as the artwork it displays is the building it’s housed in. “Operating from 1885 to 1985, Sully’s Emporium was the longest surviving commercial business in Broken Hill providing much of the heavy machinery and equipment for the development and exploration of Broken Hill’s mineral fields”, says gallery and museum manager Tara Callaghan.

Modern masters like Margaret Preston and Arthur Streeton, contemporary artists like Elisabeth Cummings and Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, and a fantastic collection of works by leading Indigenous artists like Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri are among the works in the gallery's permanent collection, which is worth close to $10 million. Exhibitions by local artists, travelling shows such as the Archibald Prize, and two important prizes: the Pro Hart Outback Art Prize and the Maari Ma Indigenous Art Awards, are also part of the yearly program (MMIAA).

Geelong Gallery, one of Australia's oldest regional galleries, held the first comprehensive examination of one of its indigenous talents, globally acclaimed and Melbourne-based street artist RONE, in 2021. RONE at Geelong saw the artist convert a room within Geelong Gallery in reaction to the architecture and history of the building, as well as the gallery's collection, as well as documenting his practice from early stencil works to the entire makeover of abandoned spaces. Geelong Gallery has consistently sponsored contemporary art and artists throughout its 125-year history.

"There is a tremendous sense of satisfaction in honoring Tyrone (RONE) and his accomplishments over the previous 20 years", says gallery director Jason Smith. "Artists influence their colleagues as well as future generations of artists". It's also a source of immense pride for RONE. It's always this institutional emblem, a level of art that, even as a creative person, felt so far away. People have been able to rethink and interpret the clean area thanks to the Gallery.

The National Portrait Gallery houses portraits of renowned Australians (by birth or association) who are significant in their field of endeavor or whose life distinguishes them as a person of long-term public interest. The collection was founded in May 1998 and was held in Old Parliament House and an adjacent museum on Commonwealth Place until 2008. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd officially launched its purpose-built permanent home on King Edward Terrace in Canberra, next to the High Court of Australia, on December 4, 2008.

The National Portrait Gallery has a series of rooms that extend from the Entrance Court, delineated by two massive cantilever concrete blades on the building's eastern side, via the foyer to the spectacular gallery spaces. Natural light is managed in each gallery via translucent glazed clerestory windows and vistas to the outside. The gallery houses approximately 400 pictures of Australia's most prominent figures, including Howard Arkley's Nick Cave, John Webber's portrait of Captain James Cook, and Barry Humphrey's Self Portrait.
