To mark Howard Hinton's 159th Birthday we invite you to the launch of A Portrait of Howard Hinton by Margaret Bain.

Who was Howard Hinton — the man behind one of Australia’s greatest art collections? A Portrait of Howard Hinton uncovers the life of this enigmatic philanthropist, moving beyond the familiar image of a shy bachelor who gave away his fortune for art. Drawing on Hinton’s long-lost diary and years of meticulous research, Margaret reveals a vibrant, generous, and deeply connected figure at the heart of Sydney’s cultural scene in the early 20th century.

Join us at NERAM to celebrate the launch of this remarkable new publication that sheds fresh light on the man whose vision helped shape the very foundations of the New England Regional Art Museum. There will be Champaign and cake.
