Queensland Art Gallery Annual Report 2006-07

QUEENSLAND ART GALLERY ANNUAL REPORT 06–07 / initiatives and services 42 Services to Regional Queensland Gallery staff continued to provide professional advice and assistance to regional gallery and arts workers throughout the state, particularly those venues hosting travelling exhibitions from the Gallery. Staff travelled to each regional venue to assist with the installation and dismantling of 'Queensland Live' and 'Myth to Modern', and they also travelled to numerous other regional centres to be involved in workshops, lectures, floortalks, consultancy services, and the judging of art awards and prizes. For more information on services to regional Queensland, see also Exhibitions and Audiences (p.23) and Focus: 'The 5th Asia–Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art' (p.33). Gallery Membership Two long-standing organisations perform vital roles for the Gallery — the Foundation engages in fundraising to develop the Gallery's Collection and exhibition programs, while the Friends of the Gallery fosters and enhances public appreciation of the visual arts. Bringing art and people together by actively involving the community in the Gallery's activities and programs is the objective of the Friends of the Gallery, and the series of planned excur- sions, lectures, viewings, monthly luncheons, kids' mornings, and coffee and cinema mornings ensured members continued to enjoy a fulfilling year of Collection- and exhibition-related events during the year. For full details of the Queensland Art Gallery Foundation operations and activities, please refer to the separate Annual Report produced by the Foundation.
