NGV Contemporary

NGV Contemporary is a vibrant group made up of people who have a passionate interest in contemporary art and want to gain a greater understanding.

Through the year NGV Contemporary draws together collectors, curators, writers, and scholars. We meet artists, view private collections and hear art professionals discuss and debate the most recent innovations in national and international contemporary art. Through NGV Contemporary you have the opportunity to become more closely involved with the dynamic and diverse fields of contemporary art practice and visual culture.
