We gratefully acknowledge Campbell
Newman,
MP
, Premier of Queensland,
and Ros Bates,
MP
, Minister for
Science, Information Technology,
Innovation and the Arts; and extend
our thanks to Philip Reed, Director-
General Department of Science,
Information Technology, Innovation
and the Arts and the Executive and
staff of Arts Queensland, Tourism
Queensland and Events Queensland
for their support.
The Queensland Government,
through Events Queensland,
provided funding for ‘Portrait of
Spain: Masterpieces from the Prado’
and ‘The 7th Asia Pacific Triennial
of Contemporary Art’ (APT7) and
we could not have realised these
substantial projects without this
funding. We also acknowledge
the Queensland Government
for its funding for insurance for
‘Modern Woman: Daughters and
Lovers 1850–1918: Drawings
from the Musée d’Orsay’ through
the Queensland Government
Exhibition Indemnification Scheme,
administered by Arts Queensland.
We thank the Australian Government,
through the Australia Council for the
Arts, its arts funding and advisory
board, and the Visual Arts and Crafts
Strategy, for its ongoing commitment
to the APT, and support for the APT7
International Visitors Program.
We thank the Department of
Foreign Affairs and Trade which
also supported the visitor program
and the many participating artists
through its cultural agencies. We
also acknowledge the Australian
Government for its support through
the Australian Government
International Exhibitions Insurance
(AGIEI) Program for ‘Portrait of Spain’.

The level of success achieved by the Gallery in 2012 would
not have been possible without the considerable support
provided by the Queensland Government.
