Benalla Ceramic Mural

The Benalla Ceramic Mural was created by some of Australia’s leading ceramic artists and many people from Benalla. It emerges from the rolling green lawns on the shore of Lake Benalla, next door to the Benalla Museum and opposite the Benalla Art Gallery.

Contributors to this open air gallery include nationally significant artists, 1500 regional students and countless volunteers.

It commenced as a community art project in 1983. Judy Lorraine was appointed Artist in Residence in 1985, created the model and the architectural drawing and the project took 25 years to complete. In 2005 the Mural was included in the Benalla Art Gallery collection and was officially launched in November 2010.

Explore the nooks and crannies of the ceramic mural and be rewarded as this curving, complex structure slowly reveals itself to the delight of children and adults alike.
