Bunjil’s View Presented by Goolum Goolum
2026-07-21 00:00 - 2026-11-01 00:00 | Victoria
Bunjil’s View is the culmination of three years of community-led cultural projects developed by Goolum Goolum. In 2024, the inaugural Bunjil’s View, a short-form video featuring participants from our local region, was presented in the Gallery as part of the annual NAIDOC exhibition. Buoyed by the cultural pride and positive reception of the work, in 2025, a second iteration of the video project was developed and presented in the same fashion. Now in 2026, a third work in the series is unveiled, with all three short-form videos taking centre stage. Collectively, these works form a visually powerful testament to community‑led artistic production, developed on Country here in the Wimmera.
Goolum Goolum is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation established in 1979, which today is dedicated to fostering cultural pride, delivering essential health, family and cultural services. For seven years, Horsham Town Hall and Goolum Goolum have worked collaboratively on annual celebratory exhibitions which feature diverse Aboriginal artists from across the region. In 2026, they are excited to expand this partnership across Horsham Town Hall, including the foyer space, Heritage Hall, Community Gallery and the Horsham Regional Art Gallery exhibition space.

REVELATION: Aunty Di Turner
2026-07-06 00:00 - 2026-11-01 00:00 | Victoria
Aunty Di Turner (born Gawler, SA, 1959?), is a member of the Stolen Generations from Kaurna Country, South Australia, living the rest of her life on Djab Wurrung Country. The softness of silk and the warmth of wool hold the marks of Country not as decoration, but as evidence of relationship in REVELATION, the inaugural solo exhibition of the Ararat-based artist.
Working with materials such as leaves, flowers, iron and copper, Turner uses eco-dyeing processes to draw colour, trace and pattern from the natural world and onto silk and wool. The process is both physical and intuitive. Rather than imposing an image onto the surface, Turner allows fibre, plant, metal and water to work together. The resulting textiles carry the imprint of Country through gathered materials, organic forms and mineral change.
The title REVELATION is intentionally multi-faceted. It alludes to the way the eco-dyeing process reveals new colours within cloth, the artist’s own artistic progression as a result of this exhibition, and the revelatory power of nature and the places that shape us. In this very special exhibition, Turner has expanded on her textile practice to explore contemporary textile installation, allowing her work to shift, move and respond to the movement of visitors within the exhibition space.

No tears in the bush: Neil Douglas
2026-07-06 00:00 - 2026-11-01 00:00 | Victoria
Neil Douglas was an artist deeply connected to the Australian bush. Committed to conservation, Douglas helped shape attitudes toward the protection of the natural environment and was awarded an MBE in recognition of his services to conservation and the arts.
Rejecting romanticised views of the landscape, his work portrays the bush as a harsh arena of survival, where life and death unfold without sentiment. His paintings capture this uncompromising realism, reflecting his belief that there are no tears in the bush.
Working en plein air, Douglas immersed himself fully in his surroundings, believing the bush to be a total sensory experience rather than a passive scene. His practice was grounded in direct engagement: to feel, inhabit, and ultimately capture the essence of the landscape. Through this approach, his work invites viewers toward a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Australian environment.
Douglas’s connection to nature was both intimate and unconventional. From an early age, he chose to go barefoot, believing his feet to be sensitive recorders of the textures and rhythms of the land. This heightened physical awareness is reflected in the immediacy and tactility of his work.
In addition to painting, Douglas was renowned for decorating earthenware vessels and ceramic sculptures.

Framed in Footy: AFL Photography by Michael Willson
2026-06-06 00:00 - 2026-10-04 00:00 | Victoria
Michael Willson, the AFL’s Chief Photographer, captures the intensity, passion, and emotion of Australian Football both on and off the field.
This exhibition offers a unique insight into the game, documenting iconic moments, acts of sportsmanship, and the personal stories of players from both the men’s and women’s leagues. Some moments in footy become bigger than the game. Through Willson’s lens, visitors experience the drama and heart of the sport from a perspective shaped by his deep knowledge of, and affection for, both photography and the game itself.

The Mack Jost Gift
2025-04-20 00:00 - 2027-01-07 00:00 | Victoria
Horsham Regional Art Gallery is pleased to exhibit the Mack Jost Gift, a selection of works drawn from over 250 works donated to the Horsham Regional Art Gallery collection by Australian concert pianist Mack Jost (pronounced ‘yost’) AM (1918-2000). Jost’s legacy tells a nationally significant story of private benefaction supporting regional Australia and is an important element in the story of art and culture in the Wimmera. His generosity served our region and propelled forward the development of the art gallery.
The Horsham Regional Art Gallery collection was then established in 1972. Eight years later, Horsham-born Mack Jost approached Council and Gallery staff with the proposal of a significant series of gifts to the collection; he offered to gift his private collection of Australian paintings and works on paper to the Horsham collection, as a series of donations during his lifetime and culminating in a significant bequest. Jost selected Horsham to commemorate his family’s long association with the Wimmera, having been born in Horsham in 1918, and his father Conrad Henry Jost was a farmer on land outside of Horsham for several decades. From then, Jost progressively donated his personal art collection of over 250 works by significant Australian artists from the colonial and modern eras, culminating in the final bequest after his death in 2000.
