Works by more than 200 Central West artists will feature in Orange Regional Gallery's new exhibition HERE/NOW, opening on Friday 3 October.
HERE/NOW is the Gallery's annual open community exhibition, which celebrates the breadth and diversity of the creative spirit in our region.
Each year the Gallery invites artists at all stages of their art practice to submit up to two recent artworks, with the guarantee that at least one work will be exhibited, ensuring local artists have an opportunity every year to exhibit their work.

Orange City Council's Recreation and Culture Policy Committee Chair, Cr Tammy Greenhalgh said a highlight of the popular exhibition was the wide variety of works submitted by the artists.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to see the wealth of creative talent we have right here in the Central West, from emerging artists to some of the region's most well-known artists," Cr Greenhalgh said.
"It's easy to see why this is one of the most popular annual exhibitions on the Gallery calendar as many of these talented artists also provide a unique insight into our region through their works."
The exhibition will feature everything from drawings, paintings and photography to sculptures, ceramics and printmaking by artists living in the local government areas of Orange, Bathurst, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra, Forbes, Lachlan Shire, Lithgow, Oberon, Parkes and Weddin Shire.
HERE/NOW will be officially opened by Orange Mayor Tony Mileto at Orange Regional Gallery at 6pm on Friday 3 October.
The exhibition will run until 30 November 2025.
