Bendigo Art Gallery is one of the oldest and largest regional galleries in Australia, established in 1887. Bendigo Art Gallery's collection is extensive, with an emphasis on contemporary Australian art and a strong selection of 19th century European art and Australian art from the 1800s. Bendigo Art Gallery is now closed to commence a major redevelopment. While construction is underway, the Gallery’s creative program continues across Bendigo, including the 2026 exhibition CURIOSITY: Building Breakthroughs in LEGO® Bricks (3 March–29 November 2026) at the Discovery Science and Technology Centre On Dja Dja Wurrung Country.

Staged on the spectacular Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk, Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi is one of Sydney’s most popular events, with 500,000 visitors viewing over 100 sculptures by artists from around the world. Held since 1997, this free to the public exhibition captures the imagination of Sydney and its visitors for three weeks each spring and is the largest annual sculpture exhibition in the world. The exhibition generates an almost unprecedented level of goodwill among the public as they enjoy one of the most unique events in the world. The popularity of the Bondi exhibition led to the creation of Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in Perth on Australia’s Indian Ocean coast in March each year. Staged since 2005 the Cottesloe exhibition features over 70 sculptures and is enjoyed by 220,000 visitors, making the exhibition as much a part of Perth as the Bondi show is in Sydney.

TarraWarra Museum of Art is a leading not-for-profit public art gallery that features inventive and stimulating exhibitions and programs about twentieth and twenty-first century art, and holds one of the country’s most important collections of Australian art from the 1930s to the present day. The permanent collection was established through the generous donation of over 600 artworks by founding patrons, the late Marc Besen AC and Eva Besen AO. TarraWarra actively engages with art, place and ideas in a remarkable environment and immersive atmosphere, inspiring curiosity and providing a retreat for the imagination. In March 2025 TarraWarra will launch a major new building, the Eva and Marc Besen Centre. A breathtaking architectural concept designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects with landscape design by OCULUS and Wurundjeri horticulturalist and artist Craig Murphy-Wandin, the state-of-the-art building is a multi-purpose learning and performance space for family and children’s programs, talks, forums, workshops, live arts and educational programs. The Centre will also offer a unique behind-the-scenes look at works from the TarraWarra Museum of Art collection. Presented in visible art storage racks, the general public will have viewing access to the works of some of Australia’s most significant modern and contemporary artists.
