Tweed Regional Gallery collection

The Tweed Regional Gallery Foundation Ltd. raises funds to develop the Gallery's Collection, and support the presentation of major exhibitions and community-based education and public programs for diverse audiences. It is through the generosity and philanthropy of individuals and businesses that we are able to sustain and develop the collection and support the success of the Gallery and the enjoyment of the communities of the Tweed Region and our visitors.
Under the Australian Government's Cultural Gifts Program the Australian Taxation Office now provides tax incentives to encourage gifts of culturally significant items from private collections to public institutions. This program has greatly enhanced the Gallery’s collection.
There are numerous ways that you can personally support the Gallery’s activities and contribute to a project or area that is of special interest to you. These include:
- Donations of cash, property or other assets
- Making a bequest or legacy in a will
- Gifting art through the Cultural Gifts Program
- Become a Foundation Member
