Benefaction: Gifting works to the collection
Through events such as Coffee with Art, Newcastle Art Gallery Society raises funds that assist in the acquisition of works for the Newcastle Art Gallery collection. Since 1969, thanks to the generosity of members supporting the Society’s event program, significant works have entered the collection. Art Gallery Society President, Prue Viggers OAM reviews some of the donations.
Online bookings and payment are essential, no cash payments accepted at the door.
