The Horsham Regional Art Gallery proudly presents You carry it with You , investigating the idea that our experiences of the Wimmera, its vast sky, rivers, lakes and open plain, are carried with us where ever we go. This exhibition celebrates those influences on the art practice of; Marion Borgelt, Jill Orr and Simone Slee through photography, painting and sculpture and the knowledge of Elders; Aunty Hazel McDonald, Aunty Irene Harrison, Aunty Nancy Harrison and Aunty Faye Marks, through their collaborative project the Wotjobaluk cloak. |

The present and the future – HRAG Jubilee Hall |
| In 2009 the Federal and Victorian governments each announced $5 million in funding toward the redevelopment of the Horsham Town Hall to co-locate the performing arts and visual arts. To achieve this ambitious project HRAG has relocated to Jubilee Hall for the duration of the project. While at Jubilee Hall we will not be able to display the Horsham Regional Art Gallery Collection. It will be stored under museum conditions while we work on better understanding, the Mack Jost Collection of Australian Painting and Works on Paper, our nationally significant collection of Australian Photography, and our collection of works that document the Wimmera. Our exhibition program at this time will, continue to bring the best in Australian visual culture to Horsham, explore what it is to be a regional art gallery, explore artists that are held within our collection, experiment with what an exhibition is, and present the work of leading practitioners from our region. Join us at Jubilee Hall as we experiment and get ready to represent the Collection in our renovated home in Wilson Street in 2014. |
