Contemporary

The NGV has an ambitious vision and commitment to contemporary art in all its forms. We are committed to providing diverse and dynamic opportunities for audiences to engage with the art of our time and to support artists working today.

We do this through the research and development of the NGV’s collection of contemporary Australian and International art, and the development of exhibitions and commissions, public programs and events, academic and community engagement.

New initiatives in support of contemporary art include major exhibitions and projects as part of our Contemporary Summer Series, the Federation Court Series of contemporary commissions, and the establishment of the inaugural NGV Triennial, scheduled for 2017.
