Acquisition Fund | Mosman Art Gallery
Event description
Support contemporary artists living today directly by donating to our Acquisitions & Commissions fund. This fund, launched at the 10th anniversary of The Balnaves Gift, was founded to continue the inspiring legacy of the late Neil Balnaves AO. Since the success of our first acquisition, we continue welcoming donations towards this fund indefinitely. All contributions directly makes possible the future of acquisitions and commissions for the Mosman Art Collection. Help us support contemporary artists immediately, connect artists to new audiences and contribute to an important art collection of national significance.
We are delighted to announce that the next acquisition for the Mosman Art Collection will be a commission by artist Thea Anamara Perkins. Perkins is an Arrente and Kalkadoon artist whose practice of landscape and portraiture responds to what it means to be Indigenous in Australia today. This commission will form part of a larger exhibition planned at Mosman Art Gallery, Curlew Camp: Revisited, in 2025, which will feature contemporary Australian artists responses to Curlew Camp, a site significant to both local history and Australia’s artistic heritage.
