Discover Local Talent at the RAW26 Exhibition

Start your Monday with a dose of inspiration at the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA). Today, visitors can explore the RAW26 exhibition, a vibrant showcase featuring the original works of eleven talented young artists from the Murray region, aged between 16 and 21. This annual exhibition is a cornerstone of the local arts calendar, offering a platform for the next generation of creators to explore complex themes such as self-identity, cultural connectedness, and mental health.

The 2026 collection is particularly diverse, featuring a wide array of mediums including painting, ceramics, photography, textiles, and digital media. It is an excellent opportunity to see how local youth are interpreting the world around them. The museum is open today from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and entry to this public gallery is free of charge.

Retro Monday at Regent Cinema

If you are looking for evening entertainment, Regent Cinema on Dean Street is hosting a special treat for film lovers. Tonight at 6:30 PM, the cinema will screen the beloved romantic comedy classic, My Best Friend's Wedding. Part of their Monday night promotion, this is a perfect chance to catch a 90s favorite on the big screen in a nostalgic setting.

For those who prefer the latest blockbusters, the 2026 season is in full swing. Today's schedule also includes screenings of highly anticipated new releases such as the modern reimagining of Wuthering Heights and the crime thriller Crime 101. With several sessions available throughout the afternoon and evening, there is plenty of choice for a Monday movie escape.

Casual Gaming and Community Connection

For the local gaming community, Good Games Albury on Dean Street offers an open invitation to their Casual Gaming Space. From 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM today, you can access their extensive games library for a small $5 entry fee. Whether you want to master a new board game or meet fellow enthusiasts for a quick session, it is a relaxed environment to spend your Monday afternoon.

Across the border in Wodonga, the community spirit continues with the Street Harvest project. Running from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM at Uniting on Nilmar Avenue, this meetup encourages locals to share surplus produce from their gardens. It is a fantastic way to connect with neighbors while supporting local sustainability and food security efforts.
