Donations of works
The Geelong community has a long tradition of supporting its art gallery. Frederick McCubbin’s A bush burial (1890) was purchased by public subscription in 1900 and over a century later, through donations by individuals and all levels of government the Gallery purchased Eugène von Guérard’s View of Geelong (1856).
The growth of the Gallery’s Collection has been due to donations of works of art by individuals, donations of works of art through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program and monetary donations from individuals, foundations, and trusts towards the purchase of works of art.
Geelong Gallery is a registered Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) with the Australian Taxation Office.
