Wollongong Art Gallery Friends is a vital part of the social life of the Gallery. The major objectives of the Friends are to stimulate, educate and sustain public interests in the Gallery.
One of the Friends key goals is to support the enhancement of the link between the Gallery and the Wollongong community. It achieves this in a number of ways:
(i) through a membership base which raises funds that support a number of Gallery cultural programs;
(ii) sponsorship of the Gallery's programs.
The Friends is open to all members of the public and is a great way to enhance your gallery experience, to meet new people and make new friends.
The Friends are proudly sponsored by Tyrrell Wines and the Novotel Wollongong.
