Looking back: celebrating 50 years through the Benalla Art Gallery Collection

The iconic building that is home to the Benalla Art Gallery celebrates its 50th birthday this year.
The organisation itself was established in 1968 with consideral community backing and significant donors such as Laurie and Erma Ledger.
With this support, noted architects Philip Sargeant and Colin Munro were appointed to design the purpose-built Benalla Art Gallery, perched between the banks of Lake Benalla and the Benalla Botanical Gardens.
The new Gallery opened in its picturesque setting in 1975, and has since provided the foundation of Benalla's artistic and creative culture.
To celebrate this milestone anniversary, this exhibition partners key events of the Gallery's history with artworks from the same era showcasing the breadth and diversity of the Benalla Art Gallery Collection.
Honouring the past we acknowledge and pay tribute to our supporters, looking forward to our upcoming redevelopment bringing many more years of enjoyment to residents and visitors.
