The Art Gallery of South Australia was founded in 1881. It is located at the heart of Adelaide’s cultural boulevard, North Terrace, between the South Australian Museum and University of Adelaide.
The Benalla Art Gallery presents an exhibition program of Australian and international art in the Bennett Gallery, in addition to the permanent collection which includes elements of the region’s history and recounting an Australian-European settlement story. The collection continues to develop with recent acquisitions including outstanding Indigenous and contemporary Australian artworks.
The Art Gallery of New South Wales began in the 1870s as an aspect of the Academy of Art. Later it became known as the National Art Gallery of NSW. This name persisted beyond Federation in 1901. It was given its present name in 1958.
It remains the principal collecting and exhibiting body in NSW and is governed by the Art Gallery of New South Wales Act of 1980.
The collection represents South Australian and West Australian women artists from the 1850s to the present day (2021). The work is housed in a 110-year old heritage home in Subiaco and includes Marie Tuck, Jessamine Buxton, Mary M. Wigg, Nancy Sayer, Mavis Lightly, Dr Joan Janet Bayliss, Priscilla Blight, Joy Tomcala, Genevieve Berry, Aurelie Yeo, May Courtney O’Neill, Christine Davis, Deborah Zibah and Lene Makwana.
