Art Gallery of New South Wales
Established in 1874, the Art Gallery of NSW presents fine international and Australian art in one of the most beautiful art museums in the world. Its aim is to be a place of experience and inspiration, through its collection, exhibitions, programmes and research. Modern and contemporary works are displayed in expansive, light-filled spaces, offering stunning views of Sydney and the harbour, while the splendid Grand Courts are home to a distinguished collection of colonial and 19th-century Australian works and European old masters. There are also dedicated galleries celebrating the arts of Asia and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Alongside the permanent collection are regularly changing temporary exhibitions - more than 30 each year - including flagship annual exhibitions such as the Archibald Prize and ARTEXPRESS.
The evening will start with a drinks reception in the galleries dedicated to 20th century Australian art with the Gala Dinner being served in the magnificent surroundings of one of the largest Old Courts, home of works from the 19th century Australian collection. Prior to the reception, guests will also have exclusive access to the newly opened Kaldor Collection. The Art Gallery of New South Wales has recently unveiled a new floor for contemporary art featuring the John Kaldor Family Gallery. With the inclusion of the Kaldor Collection, the Gallery now holds Australia's most comprehensive representation of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present day.
