The Landscape of Giving: Celebrating 10 years of the Adopt an Artwork program at NERAM
April 11 @ 5:30 pm - July 6 @ 4:00 pm
NERAM is proud to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its Adopt an Artwork program, developed to support the ongoing preservation and conservation of artworks across the NERAM collections. Since the program was launched in 2015, over 208 artworks have been adopted for treatment and over $460,000 in funding has been raised. Showcasing a large selection of artworks that have undergone preservation treatments over the decade and acknowledging the incredible and generous support received from community engagement, this exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the program and a new range of artworks from NERAM available for adoption.
The exhibition will be opened by Julian Bickersteth AO, CEO of International Conservation Services on Friday 11th April 2025 from 5.30 pm
Please join us at 5.45pm in the Mazda Gallery to share Julian’s global experience in conservation, with highlights from the past 10 years of the Adopt An Artwork Program, and celebrate the generous contributions to this incredible project which supports the preservation of our beautiful collection.
