Support Us
The Art Gallery of Western Australia is fortunate to have significant support from the public, corporate and private sectors. It is this support which makes possible the many and varied services that the Gallery is able to provide to the community.
This support falls into several categories, for example membership bodies such as the Art Gallery of Western Australia Foundation and The Friends of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Corporate Sponsors, and our Volunteer Gallery guides and visitor services officers.
We have also launched a Capital Campaign for the Art Gallery of Western Australia Acquisition Fund.
The Gift of Today's Art to Tomorrow's Generations
Art Gallery of Western Australia Special Acquisition Fund Lead Donors
The Art Gallery of Western Australia has recently established a major new Acquisition Fund to transform your State Art Collection. Its goal is to build the Collection to a new level of excellence: to acquire the very best art of our time in the areas of Indigenous, Western Australian, Australian and International contemporary art, creating a priceless gift to future generations.
The formation of the Art Gallery of Western Australia Acquisition Fund was announced in December 2007, and we are very pleased to announce that four leaders in the business world have provided a $4 million start to the Campaign.
Capital Campaign President Michael Chaney believes that, "The Acquisition Fund will be critical to ensuring the Gallery is able to maintain the State Art Collection at a high level. I commend the four companies who are leading by example in this campaign - BHP Billiton, National Australia Bank, Wesfarmers and Woodside. Their generosity is a testament to their vision for Western Australia and for Western Australians."
Inspired by the far-sighted responses from these organisations, the Capital Campaign is now widening its search for contributors at all levels. As Chairman of the Capital Campaign, Adrian Fini, says, "It's achievement will be to provide a living Gallery full of outstanding works of art that will become the backbone for community pride and passion, and inspire us to think about who we are and who we might become."
This is a unique opportunity to join an ambitious, forward thinking team of supporters to give the gift of today's art to tomorrow's generations.
