"Vibrant" is the word to describe the program, with acclaimed Australian Artist Ken Done coming along as a special guest to launch a year that is sure to inspire and spark creativity for all who visit the gallery.

Art Gallery Coordinator Raymond Wholohan said the 2022 program would include a broad range of exhibitions from a combination of both local and national artists as well as major touring exhibitions.

"We also had Melanie Toscan join us last year as our Public Programs Officer and she has planned a diverse program of workshops, art talks, after school kids' art classes and holiday programs in 2022," Mr Wholohan said.

"Come along to the launch and enjoy Dee Vine Estate wines and canapes with Ken Done."

Mr Done's current exhibition 'Paintings You Probably Haven't Seen' is also about to open at the gallery on the night, representing many of his favourite and best loved subjects.

He will also give an artist talk on February 19^th, which is expected to be a popular event with limited tickets available.
