Support the Gallery

Donate before the end of financial year on 30 June 2025 to maximise your tax deductions this year.

The Ipswich Art Gallery strives to be a place of creativity, excellence, learning, and inclusion. With the support of our generous philanthropic community, our mission is to deliver enriching art experiences to our community in fresh and engaging ways.

This year, through the Ipswich Arts Foundation Annual Appeal, we are seeking to expand our education programs, acquire significant works of art, and create new opportunities to support and advance local arts.

Donations over $2 are tax-deductible and after you make your donation you will automatically receive an email with a receipt to claim the amount on your next tax return.

If you love art, you can leave a gift in your will. Bequests are an enduring way to support the Ipswich Art Gallery well into the future, creating opportunities for the community to access artistic experiences and to grow the Art Gallery’s collection.

If you want to leave a bequest, we recommend that you contact the Ipswich Arts Foundation as early as possible. We will work with you and your solicitor to facilitate your wishes for your estate, ensuring that your generosity is properly received and appropriately acknowledged.

Your generous gift will help future generations discover the arts and culture of our city.

Want to share your love of art by donating an artwork from your own collection?

The Ipswich Art Gallery collection includes historical and contemporary artworks that are selected for inclusion in the collection by the Art Gallery’s curatorial team. Artworks in the collection are kept for future generations and shared with our community through our exhibitions and displays.

If you want to donate an artwork to the collection please discuss your potential donation with the Art Gallery first. Once your donated artwork is accepted, you can receive a tax deduction (equal to the market value of the artwork) by donating it through the Commonwealth Government’s Cultural Gifts Program, with assistance from the Art Gallery’s team.
