Lismore Regional Gallery

Lismore Regional Gallery is the fifth oldest regional gallery in New South Wales supporting the Lismore, Byron Bay, Bangalow, Nimbin, Lennox Head, Casino and Kyogle communities. The gallery contributes regionally and nationally to a living culture in New South Wales and makes accessible creative programs for the enjoyment and engagement of locals and visitors. Lismore Regional Gallery’s program reflects the social, historical, creative and cultural aspects of the region.

The Gallery’s collection features significant Australian artists such as Margaret Olley, Lloyd Rees, Albert Namatjira, Thea Proctor, Lindy Lee and Kevin Connor and well–known artists from the Northern Rivers region such as Jan Davis, Bronwyn Bancroft, Digby Moran, Angus McDonald, James Guppy, Melissa Hirsch, Robyn Sweaney, Michael John Taylor, Patsy Hely and Tony Nankervis. The Gallery holds a unique collection of photographs giving prominence to the 1973 Nimbin Aquarius Festival, perhaps the most famous of the region’s many local celebrations.

65,000 Years brings truth telling to art history

65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art is an extraordinary account of the unique art of this continent, published alongside a landmark exhibition at the Potter Museum of Art. Necessary and urgent, it tells the story of Indigenous Australian art; a new art history unlike anything we’ve seen. For Jane O’Sullivan, it’s a remarkable and must-read book.
