2020 Art Sale Fundraiser

A new Members Committee was appointed at the AGM in October and we look forward to working with the Gallery to continue to enrich your membership experience and support MRAG’s valuable creative learning programs.

The biennial MRAG Contemporary Art Sale is back this year! This is our major fundraiser, through which we as members aim to raise the funds needed for us to continue supporting Free Art Sunday, Free Art January and other initiatives in the coming years. The last art sale, which raised more than $15,000, featured wonderful artworks by the Warlukurlangu Artists of Yuendmu in Central Australia, artist Lara Scolari and MRAGM Kids. We’ll let you know closer to October what fabulous art will be available to purchase at this year’s event.

We would particularly like to give thanks for the hard work of outgoing committee members Alasdair Smart, Treasurer for five years, and Olivia Sophia, Secretary for two years. The new committee members elected at the AGM are Sarah Crawford as Secretary, James Marshall as Treasurer, Michaela Swan as Membership Officer and Jannette Rush and Kerri Gear both as General Committee Members.
