TAMWORTH REGIONAL GALLERY

The Tamworth Regional Gallery delivers a rich series of workshops, lectures, artist talks, events and engaging public programs. The gallery houses purpose-built exhibition spaces, conservation collection storage, a retail shop, the Esther Halliday Studio and a research library, and is a fully accessible space.

In 2020, Tamworth Regional Gallery developed the fourth Tamworth Textile Triennial, TENSION[S] 2020, a feature exhibition showcasing the best of textile art from across the country. The show attracted artist participation from all states in Australia.

Curated by Vic McEwan, Tensions(s) 2020: Tamworth Textile Triennial will now tour Australia, creating an important record of the changing nature and progress of textile practice from a national perspective, to acknowledge that the world has long been a place under various tension(s), both harmonious and dissonant. The exhibition is supported by the Visions regional touring program, an Australian Government program aiming to improve access to cultural material for all Australians.
