The Calleen Collection 1977–2009

31 October to 22 November 2009

The Calleen Collection is the legacy of Cowra resident and art patron, Mrs. Patricia Fagan OAM, through the Calleen Art Award, an acquisitive art award that has grown to a substantial annual art prize open to artists across Australia. Highlights of the collection are works that reflect predominant painting styles during the past 30 years in Australia, together with a strong regional flavour.
