About the Friends

The Friends of the Art Gallery of WA is one of the major supporters of new acquisitions for the state collection. The organisation exists to promote and support the activities of the Gallery, provide a more educational and social forum for patrons, and assist in fund raising efforts to expand the collection. Since its inception, the Friends have donated more than $3 million worth of important art to the state collection. Your membership helps this continue.

The Friends organisation is managed by an elected council of professionals chosen for their expertise in their respective fields.

The Friends council is made up of individuals from a range of backgrounds including the arts, education, law and corporate life.
