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. ORG was built in 1986 as a purpose built gallery. The building you see above won the Sulman Award for Architecture, and was designed by Colin Stil. The fountain is by Bronwyn Oliver, the sculpture by Chris Fox, both funded by F.O.R.G , O.R.A.F.and ArtsNSW.
ORG is a member of the Regional and Public Galleries of NSW (RPGNSW) click on the underlined links to go to RPGNSW, and to our neighbour Regional Galleries in Bathurst, Dubbo and Cowra .

WEBSITE BY ALAN SISLEY AS AN EXPERIMENT WITH FRONTPAGE 2000 (a difficult and ancient programme). WE KNOW THIS WEBSITE LOOKS ODD, WITH STRANGE FONTS, CAPITAL LETTERS (SHOUTING!) AND FOR SOME IS A BIT DIFFICULT TO READ...BUT THE MANY WEB DESIGNERS WHO HAVE WRITTEN TO CRITICISE THE LOOK OF THIS SITE ARE OUTNUMBERED AT LEAST TWENTY TO ONE BY THOSE WHO HAVE WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THIS DIY SITE. HOWEVER, DESIGNERS WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT THIS SITE IS INDEED GOING TO CHANGE RADICALLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE...TIME FOR A CHANGE INDEED. ALAN SISLEY FIRST LAUNCHED THIS WEBSITE IN 1996 AND LIKE HIS ART AND POLITICAL OPINIONS, THE LOOK OF THE SITE HAS HARDLY CHANGED SINCE THEN!
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 ROSENBERG AND 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. GRADUALLY IT IS BEING MODIFIED AS THE RESULT OF REQUESTS!
