Next Collective

Be part of a new generation of art lovers making their mark at AGWA.

Next Collective is AGWA’s donor group for young professionals and arts enthusiasts.

Next Collective supporters make an annual tax-deductible donation of $700 to a pooled fund that contributes directly to developing acquisitions from the next generation of artists for the AGWA Collection. With captivating insights from AGWA's curators, Next Collective donors become involved in the process of acquiring new works by dynamic and socially engaged artists from Australia and the world.

Join AGWA's Next Collective today to learn more, connect with like-minded art enthusiasts and actively shape the future of AGWA's State Art Collection.

Next Up Event

Each year, donors are invited to an exclusive event where AGWA curators present the works of artists they believe are most relevant of today - works that they want to ensure remain in the State forever as part of our inspiring cultural fabric. From the curatorial presentations, Next Collective donors select where their contribution is directed, resulting in a significant acquisition that could only have been made possible with their support.

A follow-up event will feature a live interview between the selected artist and curator, during which Next Collective donors will have the opportunity to ask questions and further celebrate the artist's inclusion in the State Art Collection.

Supporting AGWA, the State Art Gallery, and the important cultural role it plays in WA aligns with my personal values of supporting the arts and its vital contribution to societal health and wellbeing. In addition, the opportunities for connection, contribution, networking, and behind-the-scenes art experiences that being a Next Collective member offers, have been priceless.
