Each year the Gallery Foundation Annual Gala Dinner launches the Annual Giving Campaign, raising funds to purchase or commission a significant artwork to strengthen the Gallery’s historical and contemporary collections that have a particular focus on the complex narratives of our special place in the world’s tropic zone and Asia Pacific region.
It is the passion and vision of all our donors and patrons that continues to make it possible for the Gallery to grow its Permanent Collection for the enjoyment and benefit of future generations.
Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible and every donation, no matter how large or small, is an important way of securing major works for the Gallery’s Collection as an enduring legacy for future generations.
As a donor you will be an important part of the creative process. Over the coming year you will receive regular updates about the commissioned work and invitations to exclusive events at the Gallery, including opportunities to meet the artist and attend the gala unveiling of the commissioned artwork.
