Best Gallery In Australia: Bungendore Wood Works Gallery / 2024 World Art Awards
The World Art Awards has announced the 20 Best International Galleries and/or Museums for the year 2024, with Bungendore Wood Works Gallery receiving the award for the Best Gallery in Australia. Selections were based on years established, industry reputation, location, size, aesthetics, socially relevant exhibits, motivational and educational programs, online presence, represented artists — and references from artists, clients, and visitors.
World Art Awards: “Attracting 120,000 visitors a year, multi-tourism award-winning Bungendore Wood Works Gallery specializes in exhibiting and promoting Australian made wood art and sculpture of a very high standard. The Gallery was built in 1994 from Australian materials, including Jarrah posts, beams and staircase; Tasmanian Oak floors, Ebonized Victorian Ash frames, and New South Wales Flooded Gum wall paneling, designed by Bungendore architect, Maurice Barnes.”
Owner, founder and Artistic Director, David Mac Laren OAM, “For a regional commercial gallery to be nominated for this award was very heartening as the gallery celebrates its 40th Year which we are dedicating to the Ukraine War of Independence”.
Address: 22 Malbon St, Bungendore NSW 2621, Australia
World Art Awards: “This year we awarded art establishments with buildings hundreds of years old presenting Old Master originals, and conversely we selected new boundary-pushing art facilities. We opted for many high-rated private galleries representing important young work, from painting to digital to photography to sculpture. Most of these focus on advancing their regional artists, be they Burmese, Chilean, Colombian, Georgian, Latvian, Malaysian, Moroccan, Japanese, Portuguese, African, American, Latin American or Native-American.
“Our diversified roster this year includes a renowned three-story London showplace and a Prague institution (offering Czech legends of the 19th-20th century as well as European masters like Renoir, Chagall and Picasso). We chose an Australian gallery made of Australian materials specializing in Australian wood sculpture — and the only gallery in Taiwan that has focused on the art of photography for over 15 years. We also tributed large, modern art facilities with influential international presences in Morocco, Japan, Israel and USA.”
