During 2005 Outback Arts was approached by a Private
Art Collector, displaying great enthusiasm to donate
some original artworks to Outback Arts. Their idea
being for the Far West Region to gain access to
these predominately Modern Art pieces. Outback Arts
is very excited about this project and hopes that in
future will be able to display many more of these
and other works with the possibilities being
endless.
Since at that time Outback Arts did not have
Deductible Gift Recipient Status (DGR), the four
artistic pieces received in 2005 were donated to the
Dubbo Regional Gallery (DRG) with a Memorandum of
Understanding so that Outback Arts retains control
of the artworks. Outback Arts obtained its D.G.R.
status in October 2006.
In
mid September 2007, Outback Arts received 5 more
magnificent pieces of artwork to add to the
collection. Since then Outback Arts has continued to
receive many more pieces from their generous donors.
In total Outback Arts has 34 pieces, in varying
mediums from painting through to sculpture and
photography. And in size, very large to the very
small.
The 34 pieces are currently on exhibition in the six
shires of Coonamble, Walgett, Brewarrina, Bourke,
Cobar and Warren that Outback Arts service.
Outback Arts plan to rotate the artworks every 3
months within the Outback Arts Shires
In the future Outback
Arts will continue to receive many more varied and
enriching pieces from their generous donors.
Outback Arts acknowledges the generous gesture that these
two collectors have offered to them and the positive
benefits this gesture will bring to the Outback Arts
community, bringing joy and enrichment to the
lives of Outback Arts community members for many
years to come.
Once again we extend our many thanks to our generous donors,
Yvon Gatineau and Peter Jackson.
