Orange Regional Gallery (ORG) is 250 kms west of Sydney in a beautiful part of Australia 900 metres above sea level. The area is renowned for fine agricultural produce, particularly fruit and gourmet foodstuffs, as well as cool climate wines. Orange is, however, too cool to grow Oranges, it was named after the Government Surveyor Major Mitchell's friend, Prince William of Orange. ORG was built in 1986 as a purpose built gallery. The building you see above won the Sulman Award for Architecture. The fountain is by Bronwyn Oliver, purchased by the Friends of Orange Regional Gallery and ArtsNSW.

WEBSITE BY ALAN SISLEY AS AN EXPERIMENT WITH FRONTPAGE 2000. WE KNOW THIS WEBSITE LOOKS ODD, WITH STRANGE FONTS, CAPITAL LETTERS (SHOUTING!) AND FOR SOME IS A BIT DIFFICULT TO READ...BUT  A SMART LOOKING WEBSITE NOW COSTS AROUND $5000 AND PROVIDES NO MORE INFORMATION.  ORANGE REGIONAL GALLERY IS HANDS ON, BUSY AND LIVELY, WITH A HIGH RESPECT FOR THE REAL ARTIST, AND  AN OLD SCHOOL DISLIKE OF FAD AND FASHION. WE ALSO RECKON MODERNISTS LIKE CLEMENT GREENBERG  WERE COMPLETELY WRONG WITH THE "WHITE CUBE" IDEA, SO THIS SITE PREPARES YOU FOR SOME STARTLING AND LIVELY COLOURS IN THE ACTUAL GALLERY. IF YOU REALLY HATE THIS WEBSITE PLEASE EMAIL ALAN SISLEY AND ASK HIM TO CHANGE IT AS YOU THINK FIT.
