2025 NGV Annual Appeal

This year, the NGV is seeking your support to help us secure Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s Officer and waitress (Offizier und Kellnerin), 1915 for the Gallery’s Collection.

Support the appeal

Il dolcetto – there’s always room for a little dessert! Discover sweet treats from across Italy and design your own dessert-themed tote bag to take home in this free activity led by Milan-born artist and illustrator Eleonora Arosio.

Bookings essential

Eleonora Arosio
Eleonora Arosio is an Italian illustrator now based in Melbourne who brings bright, playful scenes of everyday moments to life using colored pencils and digital drawing. Raised in an Italian household, mealtimes, cooking, and food have always served as cherished rituals for her to slow down and connect with others, whether she’s whipping up mushroom tagliatelle after a long day or savoring the freshly prepared crostata her aunt bakes for her every time she visits.


This program is part of NGV Italia, supported by the Italian Australian Foundation.
