Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery

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).
