Supporting the Visual Arts in the Clarence Valley
What we do
The Gallery Foundation was established in 2005 as an independent not-for-profit organisation to support the growth and vibrancy of the Grafton Regional Gallery.
As trustees of the Gallery Foundation Trust, we manage the investment of donations for the long term benefit of the Gallery and our community.
Over the past 15 years, the Gallery Foundation has contributed over $130,000 to the Gallery’s infrastructure and collection.
“Our work shines a light on the significance of the arts, creativity and culture to the Clarence Valley; it connects people across our communities.”

Our mission
Our mission is to raise funds for infrastructure and acquisitions by harnessing the value of gifts, bequests and sponsorships, along with the staging of community fundraising events.
This will support the future development of our regional gallery, enabling it to reach its full social, cultural and educational potential.
Events
Each year The Gallery Foundation hosts a variety of community fundraising activities across the Clarence Valley.
Our flagship events, Art in the Paddock and Gate to Plate, are recognized as highlights of the social calendar.
Organised by a passionate Board, with a professional events team and the valuable input of business sponsors and volunteers, our events create lasting bonds between people, place and purpose.
