The Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre houses a significant collection of regional and national significance. The Gallery’s objective is to develop and preserve its collection, with a primary focus on Australian portraits, Artworks of regional relevance, Australian artists’ prints and the life and work of Margaret Olley.

The collection has benefited significantly from the Gallery’s biennial acquisitive award, the Olive Cotton Award for Photographic Portraiture, and through the generous contributions from the Friends of Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre Inc., and the Tweed Regional Gallery Foundation Ltd.

Recent Acquisitions includes a selection of works which have been acquired by the Gallery, or generously donated over the past three years.
