Help the Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation support the Gallery and one of the finest art collections in regional Australia.
Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation is a not for profit charity with tax deductible donation status. It is the major fundraiser for the Gallery and has given millions of dollars to boost the Newcastle community's art collection.
Since its inception in 1978, the Foundation has managed more than 150 acquisitions including works by Gretchen Albrecht, Richard Browne, William Dobell, Rosalie Gascoigne, Gwyn Hanssen Piggott, Tracy Moffatt, Albert Namatjira, Patricia Piccinini, Tony Tuckson and Brett Whiteley, as well as a Stuart & Sons Studio grand piano.
By joining the Foundation as a benefactor you help to ensure that the Gallery can continue to add to the collection and to enrich our community as a vital part of Newcastle’s cultural life. The Foundation welcomes individual and corporate benefaction. Membership is cumulative, so benefactors who make further donations or gift works of art are recognised at the appropriate level.
