Become an NGV Patron

The National Gallery of Victoria contributes enormously to the cultural, educational and social life of Victorians. We must continue to inspire our own and future generations by adding historic and contemporary masterpieces to our collection. To achieve this we need your support to ensure the NGV remains a vibrant and stimulating cultural destination – one of the world’s great galleries.

Become a Patron of the NGV

NGV patrons play a crucial role in helping us to achieve our goal of expanding the NGV collection, by making an annual gift to the Gallery. The Patrons Program provides a vital source of funding, which gives us the ability to act immediately when critically important works become available.

For all enquiries about NGV Patrons, please contact NGV Foundation.
