For the Forrester Gallery Stage 2 funds are being sought externally from Government, Lottery Grants Board and charitable trusts. Sponsorship from local businesses and contributions from the community will also be vital to making this exciting project happen. The Friends of the Forrester Gallery have already raised over $60,000 towards the cost of the lift and they continue to raise funds for this project. The Friends have recognised the importance of this project for many years and are excited to see it completed.
Recently an application to the Lottery Environment and Heritage Fund successfully secured $400,000 towards this project stage.
In September 2023 this project was granted $6.5 million from the Regional Culture and Heritage Fund.
If you are interested in making a contribution, please contact the Friends of the Forrester Gallery or Gallery Director Chloe Searle. Donations made to the Friends of the Forrester are eligible for a charitable tax credit of $0.33 for each dollar donated.
