Public Art ~ Local
The Farmer by Deborah Halpern
Situated on the grounds of the Swan Hill Regional Art Gallery, this sculpture was created by Deborah Halpern between 1986 and 1987. The steel skeleton and concrete sculpture base are covered with glazed ceramic tiles. Deborah is a mosaic artist and makes her own tiles.
The sculpture was donated to the Gallery in 2005 by an anonymous benefactor with the support of the Federal Government’s Cultural Gifts Program.
Transport and installation of the sculpture was sponsored by The Friends of the Gallery.

Bollards by the river...joint project by artists of the region.
Opposite the Gallery and outside the Pioneer Settlement is one of a few bollards that you will find along the river. This one is of Captain Hugh King, who is proudly standing in front of his favourite paddlesteamer the 'Gem'.
Inside the grounds of Pioneer Settlement Museum is a bollard depicting an Aboriginal hunter.
