The Gallery’s objective is to develop and preserve a collection of regional and national significance with a focus on 4 collection areas:

  • Australian portraits
  • Artworks of regional relevance
  • Australian artists’ prints
  • The life and work of Margaret Olley.

Community support though the Friends of Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre Inc and the Tweed Regional Gallery Foundation Ltd is acknowledged in the collection through their generous contributions to acquisitions.

The collection has benefited significantly from the Gallery’s biennial acquisitive prize, the Olive Cotton Award for Photographic Portraiture.

Each year the Gallery presents an exhibition curated exclusively from the collection promoting continued interpretation of and access to this significant community asset.

The Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre is registered to receive artworks gifted under the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program. Please direct collection enquiries to Curator MOAC & Collections Manager tweedart@tweed.nsw.gov.au.
