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.

Artwork donation
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.
