Now thanks to a RACV write-up on the top nine regional galleries to visit in the state, Benalla Art Gallery, which placed at number five on that list, is set to gain more attention.

With galleries from Horsham to Ararat, Mornington Peninsula and even Wangaratta - just down the road - making the list, Benalla is in good company.
