CREATE!

The campaign to support Mosman Art Gallery - carved tree project.

In May 2015, Mosman Art Gallery received the National Award from Museums and Galleries of Australia for its Bungaree’s Farm exhibition - this is the highest award that can be given to a gallery in Australia.

From the Bungaree’s Farm exhibition, a series of 24 Aboriginal poles (Country by Warwick Keen - find out more here) were acquired and installed as permanent pieces in the gallery’s forecourt, which has been developed into a stunning sculpture garden.

Listen to artist Warwick Keen and curator Djon Mundine speak about Country in this 30 second video.

Each of the 'carved trees' have been sponsored at a cost of $2,000 each.

We would like to sincerely thank our wonderful Create! Campaign supporters and 'Carved Tree Project' sponsors. With your very generous assistance and matched funding from Creative Partnerships Australia, we have raised an incredible $96,000!

Thank you again for your outstanding philanthropic support:
