Eastern Riverina Arts is honoured to host the work of prominent Australian artist Fiona Hall through the Sharing the National Collection program. Supported by the Australian Government’s National Cultural Policy ‘Revive’, this program enables the National Gallery’s extensive collection to be shared with regional galleries and cultural institutions across the country.

Fiona Hall’s extraordinary Paradisus Terrestris (1989–90) will be on display at the Station Creative Workplace in Wagga Wagga until 2028, through a long-term loan with Eastern Riverina Arts. The sculptural work transforms everyday materials into intricate organic forms, drawing on Australian historical and contemporary resonances while reflecting Hall’s sustained engagement with ecology, systems of knowledge, and Australian historical and contemporary narratives.
