Raising Funds for Galleries
Raising Funds for Galleries
Tuesday 1 May 2018, 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Diversification of income is quickly becoming essential in the arts. In this 1-day program you will explore different types of fund raising within a gallery context, how to set achievable targets for your size and resourcing, as well as a range of models to enable you to meet your fundraising goals.
The morning session will include presentations by Ron Fairchild, CFRE (Chief Advancement Officer, Deakin University) discussing the ins and outs of fundraising in a gallery/museum setting leaning on his experiences at both MUMA and Ontario; Abigail Crompton (Founder and CEO, Third Drawer Down) who will provide insight into generating a retail revenue stream; and Christina Apostolidis (General Manager – Development, Centre for Contemporary Photography) covering fundraising in a small to medium gallery.
Following lunch, Bryony Nainby (Director, Benalla Art Gallery) will discuss securing donations for artwork acquisitions by looking at the Benalla purchase of work by Milan Milojevic; Jason Smith (Director, Geelong Gallery) will detail his gallery’s evolving approach to fundraising; and Frankie Airey (Director and Founder, Philanthropy Squared) will discuss working with your Board and team.
A panel discussion chaired by Sue Roff (Executive Director, Arts Project Australia) and featuring Jason Smith, Frankie Airey, and Bryony Nainby will provide a platform for free ranging discussion and for participants to gain advice pertaining to their individual circumstances.
Immediately following the Raising Funds for Galleries sessions, participants will attend an artist talk by Gosia Wlodarcza and take a private tour of her exhibition ARTIST NOT @(at) WORK, 31 DOMESTIC JOBS FOR DECEMBER, currently showing at the Deakin University Downtown Gallery.
This session will be of practical use to gallery directors and senior gallery officers with a focus on business development, financial sustainability, philanthropy and fundraising programs, as well as board members with an active involvement in these areas. All participants will also enjoy the opportunity to network and share ideas not only with the presenters, but also with their peers.
