Australian Government funding will support 12 exciting exhibitions to tour remote, regional and metropolitan locations around the country.

The grants, totalling $1 million, have been awarded under the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach program. Recipients include:

  • Australian National Maritime Museum - $87,484 to support the touring of award-winning works of art by Torres Strait Island artist Alick Tipoti to three regional venues in Tasmania, Queensland and New South Wales as part of the Mariw Minaral (Spiritual Patterns) exhibition.
  • National Gallery of Australia - $63,555 to support the National Indigenous Art Triennial – one of Australia’s preeminent exhibitions of First Nations art – to tour to New South Wales and South Australia.
  • National Portrait Gallery of Australia - $24,117 to tour the Pub Rock exhibition – celebrating home-grown rock ‘n’ roll, punk and pop and featuring works by leading Australian music photographers – to Queensland venues.

The funding will also support the development of a further 3 new exhibitions by the Bundanon Trust, National Archives of Australia and National Museum of Australia.

Thanks to these grants, more Australians will have the opportunity to visit major arts exhibitions at their local galleries – increasing access to arts and cultural experiences in line with the Government’s National Cultural Policy, Revive.
