Founded in 1981, the Stan Kelly Art Group stemmed from members looking to learn botanical art from the master of the genre, Stan Kelly OAM.
Cr Armstrong said she was "proud to see" the Gallery celebrate local artists and acknowledge the vital contribution they make to the region's arts and culture scene.
"Council is proud to see the Gallery celebrate a diverse selection of works from local artists for From The Garden," she said.
