Monday 5 October 10–11.30AM

Join Benalla Art Gallery curators in conversation with Nick Baylart, celebrating his exhibition Speedscapes. Timed to coincide as part of the Seniors Festival 2026, the talk will be followed by morning tea in the Gallery. The Speedscapes exhibition captures the way the wide flat plains of north central Victoria are experienced at speed: fast glimpses of sprawling agricultural country seen most often by road or rail, across long vistas and between roadside trees.
