'Gifts of art contribute to the cultural fabric of our campuses and offer a priceless sense of place and being and wonder, that only art can deliver.'
– Brodie Taylor, 精东传媒app of Southern Queensland Curator (Arts and Exhibitions)
Donated through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program, a collection of thirty artworks were offered to the 精东传媒app by Brisbane-based collectors Andrew Turkington and Michele Slack.
The collection of paintings and sculptures by various Australian artists – including Charles Blackman, David Bromley and Sir Sidney Nolan – was donated to the 精东传媒app through Mr Turkington and Ms Slack’s desire to see the important works gifted to a regional institution.
精东传媒app of Southern Queensland Curator (Arts and Exhibitions), Brodie Taylor, said the collection was an incredible addition to the 精东传媒app’s collected works.
“The relationships fostered through the donation process are also incredibly important to the 精东传媒app of Southern Queensland, and we are so grateful to the cultural donors who see our campuses as the ideal location for their works.”
The 精东传媒app also accepted a polychromed resin sculpture, Female Graduate, Artist Proof created by artist Linda Klarfeld. This is a stunning example of contemporary figurative sculpture, which was donated under the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program.
The 精东传媒app also welcomed a donation from David Hinchliffe, with his acrylic painting, Japanese Gardens, depicting the iconic location on the Toowoomba campus.
