Donations Of Art
Does the Gallery accept donations of artworks?
Yes!
Potential artworks will be assessed by the extent to which they align with our Collection Policy, and may need to be presented to an internal Gallery committee prior to being accepted.
The Gallery also accepts donations through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program, which may provide a tax incentive to donors.
