2026 NGV Annual Appeal

The NGV invites you to play a vital role in shaping the future of our Collection by supporting the acquisition of Untitled #16, 1995 by American artist Agnes Martin.

Support the appeal

Explore Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson’s exhibition Mercy, relax on a beanbag or engage in some quiet drawing inside the low sensory space. This area will have fewer people, lower lighting and sensory aids.

This program will take place as part of NGV Teens: Art Party.
