Gasworks Foundation Patrons Fund
The Gasworks Foundation Patrons Fund provides an opportunity for members of the community to support the Gasworks Arts Park precinct. Such support helps fund projects that have a lasting impact on the site; artists’ showcases, public sculptures, special exhibitions and more. Foundation patrons belong to a group of dedicated supporters that are among Gasworks’ closest friends and enjoy special opportunities to engage with the park’s precinct and programs.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, the Foundation has commissioned prominent sculptures within the park, and the decorative gate adorning the Graham Street entrance to the park designed by Gasworks Resident Artist Benjamin Storch. In addition, they have added to the visual aesthetic of Gasworks Arts Park by helping to improve on-site equipment such as the cafe courtyard umbrellas.
It has supported performing arts such as Gasworks Circus Showdown participants with development opportunities and prizes. Visual art projects that have received Foundation funding include From Nature, Paint Out, and Bay Windows. Without the Foundation’s support such artist opportunities and projects would not be possible.
Gasworks Foundation Patrons receive:
- acknowledgment on the Gasworks Arts Park website name listed on the Patrons Fund plaque located in the Gasworks Foyer
- invitations to special events, with opportunities to hear guest speakers, meet artists and find out more about the workings of Gasworks
