Donating and Loaning to the GRAGM Collection:

The Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum is continually adding new pieces to the Art and Heritage Collections. If you have an item/s that you feel may be of value to the Collection, please contact us to organise meeting with the Curator or Heritage Officer to discuss donating options.

Annual art and historical exhibitions often require additional items to be loaned from the community. For example, each year the Arts NAIDOC exhibition invites local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to submit artworks to exhibit, while the Saiki Children's Day exhibition loans treasured objects and traditional Japanese displays from families within the Region.

When donating or loaning items to the Gallery & Museum, both parties will sign an agreement form, outlining the conditions and dates of the donation or loan. With dedicated and trained staff, you know that your items will be given the utmost respect and care while in the possession of the Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum.

The Gallery & Museum also accepts gifts, financial donations, and bequests. Consider contributing to the development of the Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum Collection by gifting artworks, financial assistance or property. Your generosity can benefit the community for generations to come.

If you are thinking about making a gift in your Will, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific wishes with you. All enquiries are treated with the utmost confidentiality. Your solicitor can also provide further assistance and advice on this matter.
