The Barossa Regional Gallery is fortunate to be home to the Barossa Vintage Festival Art Collection, consisting of over 80 artworks which have been collected over the last 60+ years. Among these pieces there is a strong emphasis on landscapes in all mediums and styles. Many artworks in the Collection are an excellent example of their time and place, as well as a punctuation in the journal of each artist’s career.
This collection is rotated and displayed at least once a year at the Gallery and features well-known artists, including Imants Tillers, Kathleen Petyarre, Hilary Mais, Rod Schubert, Marnie Wark, David Dalwitz, Pamela Kouwenhoven and Dianne Longley.
