The Benalla Art Gallery is a free, public gallery in Benalla, which opened in 1975.[1] Victoria's Herald Sun newspaper described it in 2013 as one of Victoria's top ten regional galleries, with a "striking modernist building".[2] The gallery complex was designed by Colin Munro and Philip Sargeant. The gallery's original design was reduced in size, culminating in an expansion proposal being canvassed in 2013.[1]

In 2013 a new art prize was announced for a work of the naked human figure.[3] The winner of the non-acquisitive $50,000 2014 Benalla Nude Art Prize for 2014 was Juan Davila.[4] Artists whose work is held by the Benalla Art Gallery include Constance Stokes[5] and Jan Hendrik Scheltema.

The gallery is a member of the Public Galleries Association of Victoria.[6]
