NGV Artbeat Turns 1!

NGV Artbeat was launched a year ago and has been a huge success attracting close to 1500 members. Artbeat is a fast expanding division of NGV Members providing privileged access to the NGV and Melbourne’s vibrant visual arts scene.

We hope you’ve enjoyed the first year of exclusive Artbeat events including: the Launch Party, Break the Winter Drought at 333 Collins Street, More Real Than Life at the Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, The Clemenger Contemporary Art Award, a private Sotheby’s Viewing, the Artbeat/Vogue Living Party and more. Stay tuned for the special events planned in 2004-05.

To celebrate our first anniversary and to thank you for being our very first Artbeat Members, we invite you to renew now (save $10 from the current membership fee) and go into the draw to win great prizes! More exciting competitions will be run for all Members over the coming months.
