50 YEARS: 50 ARTISTS is a major exhibition to celebrate 50 years of Latrobe Regional Gallery. The show will feature works from our collection by artists who have made a significant contribution to the development of art in Gippsland. The exhibition will also include artworks borrowed from artists who are living or working in Gippsland. The final group of artists will be three artists commissioned to create new work for inclusion in the exhibition.

The exhibition is forward-looking with an eye to the future and with an emphasis on contemporary art.
