Official Opening of Sharing The National Collection Program in Goulburn

Join us in the Gallery on Friday 30 January at 6pm to celebrate the official opening of Mikala Dwyer's Wall Painting (2020) at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery as part of the Sharing The National Collection Program

We are delighted to be launching Goulburn Regional Art Gallery’s collaboration with the National Gallery of Australia through the loan of Mikala Dwyer’s immersive installation work Wall Painting (2020) which is installed at the entranceway to the Gallery. This significant loan has been made possible through the Sharing the National Collection Program.

Installed directly on the façade of the Gallery’s building and extending more than twenty-eight metres, Dwyer’s vibrant wall painting is a bold and iconic work that transforms the built environment and provides the community and visitors with direct access to a major installation by one of Australia’s most internationally esteemed contemporary artists.

Book your ticket to celebrate this vibrant wall painting and significant partnership with us, and enjoy a summer evening of opening remarks, live music and refreshments with friends, family and supporters. We can't imagine a better way to welcome the new year in the heart of Goulburn.

This work of art is on long term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection.
