Welcome to Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation.

We are an independent, registered not-for-profit charity and the major fundraiser for Newcastle Art Gallery.

Since 1977 our philanthropic support has contributed to more than 335 art works entering the Gallery collection.

The Foundation is delighted to announce the donation of a significant work of art by internationally acclaimed Quandamooka artist Megan Cope. The work is set to take pride of place in the atrium of the expanded Newcastle Art Gallery. 
Kinyingarra Guwinyanba (Off Country) features 44 poles adorned with a bouquet of rock oyster shells, which will be suspended within the new central atrium of the Gallery and be visible from the ground and first floors.
Megan Cope said Kinyingarra Guwinyanba is a project she started in 2022 on her traditional Country.
