PGAV has been awarded a three-year grant from The Ian Potter Foundation, securing our future and ensuring continued support for 75 public galleries across metropolitan and regional Victoria.
This exceptional funding recognises PGAV’s unique role as the peak body for the sector—delivering professional development, advocacy, benchmarking data and collaborative initiatives that keep galleries thriving, especially in regional and outer-metro communities.
We’re deeply grateful to The Ian Potter Foundation for this vote of confidence in our work and in the vital contribution public galleries make to communities across the state.
Here’s to a stronger, more sustainable gallery network for all Victorians.
