The Donor Circles have been created to bring together a community of committed supporters who share a belief in the power of art to inspire, challenge and connect us. Through annual giving, members of the Donor Circle will directly support the growth of the collection and the delivery of an ambitious exhibition program, helping ensure our Gallery continues to thrive as a place of creativity, access and excellence.
As a member of the Donor Circles, you will enjoy a closer connection to the life of the Gallery through special events, behind-the-scenes experiences and opportunities to engage with artists, curators and fellow patrons who are passionate about the arts and the future of our institution.
The Donor Circles include four levels of annual giving:
- Advocates Circle: $1,000 – $4,999 per annum
- Leadership Circle: $5,000 – $9,999 per annum
- Principal Circle: $10,000 – $24,999 per annum
- Director’s Circle: $25,000+ per annum
Emerging Advocates
Reduced entry to the Patrons Circle at $750 per annum for supporters under 40
Family Supporters are recognised within Donor Circles at the same tier thresholds.
Donor Circle programs provide cumulative recognition of your donations on our Honour Roll.
To assist with our planning, to support the Gallery, the Foundation encourages you to pledge your donation for a period of three years or more.
Join the Donor Circles today and help shape the future of Newcastle Art Gallery.
