Annie McCubbin's Return,
Whitehorse Artspace at Box Hill Town Hall

Currently being held on-line

Experience the diversity of portraits held within the Whitehorse Art Collection, from our first acquisition in 1927 to contemporary donations and acquisitions. The star and inspiration for this exhibition is Frederick McCubbin’s portrait of his wife Annie painted in 1910 (Annie was a frequent model for her husband). Contributing to this celebration of portraits are local artists from the Box Hill Art Group and the Whitehorse Arts Association. The inclusion of artwork by local artists provides an overview of the many subjects that are important to us – family, national heroes or international celebrities.
