This exhibition will span the majority of the Gallery’s main exhibition spaces and foyer and provide a good overview of the pieces collected during that time. The works will feature in the Gallery’s third volume of catalogues titled Acquisitions 2016 to 2024. New Acquisitions will also launch a series of collection displays in the Logan Art Gallery foyer throughout 2025 to celebrate 30 years since the opening of the gallery.
