We are proud of both the strong relationships we enjoy
with our long-term sponsors and supporters, and of the
enthusiastic new partnerships we have fostered in 2012.
The Gallery exceeded its sponsorship
and grants targets for ‘The 7th Asia
Pacific Triennial of Contemporary
Art’ (APT7) with a high level of
corporate and government support
for the exhibition.
Santos was the Presenting Sponsor
of APT7 through its five-year
agreement with the Gallery. Long-
standing supporter of the Gallery,
Ausenco, and Papua New Guinea-
based Kramer Ausenco, generously
contributed funds to successfully
realise the PNG component of APT7.
Santos has continued its support
of the Gallery’s major summer
exhibition series and the Children’s
Art Centre.
We also acknowledge the Ishibashi
Foundation, Creative New Zealand,
the Department of Foreign Affairs
and Trade, and the many cultural
agencies that supported APT7.
Art Exhibitions Australia, and the
Gallery acknowledge Spanish
infrastructure and energy company
ACCIONA as the Principal Sponsor
for ‘Portrait of Spain: Masterpieces
from the Prado’. The Tim Fairfax
Family Foundation also provided
generous contributions as Principal
Benefactor of ‘Portrait of Spain’
and APT7.
Xstrata Coal’s three-year partnership
continued to promote Queensland art
and artists through the Xstrata Coal
Queensland Artists’ Gallery exhibition
program, and associated regional
touring activities.
In 2012, the Gallery signed a new
two-year partnership with luxury
car brand Audi, and the partnership
was launched with Audi as Principal
Sponsor of ‘Contemporary Australia:
Women’.
During the past year, the Gallery
has continued to strengthen existing
relationships with its tourism and
media partners and support has
grown to unprecedented levels.
