They are both managed by the same team and have separate, but complementary philanthropic programs and activities. Sidney Myer, a generous philanthropist in his lifetime, left a portion of his estate upon his death in 1934 to be invested for the benefit of the community in which he made his fortune. That bequest created the Sidney Myer Fund which exists in perpetuity. The Myer Foundation was established in 1959 by Sidney’s sons, Baillieu Myer AC and the late Kenneth Myer AC DSC, and their sisters Lady Southey and the late Mrs Neilma Gantner as a way to support initiatives and new opportunities arising from contemporary issues. The Myer Foundation was further endowed through Kenneth Myer’s estate following his death in 1992. 2 In FY17, the Poverty & Disadvantage varied cultural connections we share Committee of the Sidney Myer Fund with our closest global neighbours.

It was founded by the Presbyterian Church of Queensland in 1911 with the first students taking up residence in Wickham Terrace in 1912. As the Presbyterian Church moved towards partnership with other religious denominations during the 1970s, Emmanuel College also came under the auspices of the Uniting Church. Upon its inauguration, Emmanuel College was an all male residence but this changed in 1975 when women were admitted as collegians. Now, the College numbers around 340 students with half our population being female. Further change was experienced by the College when it moved in 1956 from its original site in Wickham Terrace to its present location on the main university campus in St Lucia. Since 1911, Emmanuel has stood for excellence in all round education and has had seven Rhodes Scholars during its history. Its graduates have gone on to make a major contribution to Australia in many areas, including as doctors, scientists, teachers, engineers, lawyers and judges, politicians, ambassadors and diplomats, and church leaders. Emmanuel College INTRODUCTION BY EMMANUEL COLLEGE PRINCIPAL, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR STEWART GILL Philanthropy is defined as being “the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes”. As an institution founded and supported by philanthropy, Emmanuel College is seeking to promote through this series of annual lectures the importance of Philanthropy in Education.

  • Arts and Culture Unnumbered Sparks: Janet Echelman, TED Sculpture Foreword
    Arts and Culture Unnumbered Sparks: Janet Echelman, TED Sculpture Foreword Imagine a world without performing or visual arts. Imagine – no opera houses, no theatres or concert halls, no galleries or museums, no dance, music, theatre, collaborative arts or circus – and in an instant we appreciate the essential, colourful, emotive and inspiring place that creative pursuits hold in our daily life. Creating opportunities for arts to flourish is vital, and this includes realising inspiring venues which are cutting edge, beautiful, functional, sustainable, have the right balance of architecture, acoustics, theatrical and visual functionality and most importantly are magnets for artists and audiences, are enjoyable spaces and places, and allow the shows and exhibitions to go on. 4 Performing Arts Bendigo Art Gallery 5 Performing Arts Arts and Culture Performing and Visual Arts 03 08 – 87 88 – 105 Foreword Performing Musicians, Arts Artists, Sculptors and Festivals 106 – 139 140 – 143 144 Visual Arup Services Photography Arts Clients and Credits Collaborators Contents Foreword 3 Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall 46 Singapore South Bank Studio, Queensland Symphony Orchestra 50 Australia Performing Marina Bay Sands Theatres 52 Arts 8 Singapore Elisabeth Murdoch Hall Federation Concert Hall 56 Melbourne Recital Centre 10 Australia Australia Chatswood Civic Place 58 Sydney Opera House 14 Australia Australia Carriageworks 60 Glasshouse Arts, Conference and Australia Entertainment Centre 16 Australia Greening the Arts Portfolio 64 Australia Melbourne

  • Rupert Myer: the Rising Tide of Philanthropy by Nicole Richards September 24, 2014
    Rupert Myer: The rising tide of philanthropy by Nicole Richards September 24, 2014 www.generositymag.com.au “There are a number of very wealthy, self-made, successful entrepreneurs who are bursting their boiler to create an adjacency with a thoughtful cultural organisation,” says Rupert Myer. “Too many arts organisations are missing this fact.” A luminary of the Australian philanthropic scene, Rupert Myer AM has been an active and devoted supporter of the arts for decades. He has held roles across Australia’s largest arts institutions, chaired the Commonwealth Inquiry into the Contemporary Visual Arts and Craft Sector, and currently sits on nine boards as well as serving as Chair of the Australia Council for the Arts. Myer’s deep philanthropic roots are, of course, steeped in a family history that was shaped by the legendary generosity of his grandfather, Sidney Myer. Though he grew up surrounded by the business of philanthropy, Myer says there was an understanding that merely carrying the family name did not make you a philanthropist. “All the family were invited to participate in the administration of the Myer Foundation and the Sidney Myer Fund,” he says. “We were very mindful of the fact that our involvement didn’t, in turn, make us philanthropists – we were administering someone else’s philanthropic act, be it that of my grandfather or my uncle or my father. Administering someone else’s philanthropic act doesn’t allow you to wear the shingle.” “But having had the exposure to the various organisations that have the support of the Foundation and Fund, I recognised that I had some capacity to become directly involved with my interest being in the arts, youth unemployment and indigenous affairs.

The Myer Foundation was established in 1959 by Sidney Myer's sons, Baillieu Myer AC and the late Kenneth Myer. The Foundation distributes approximately $5 million dollars per annum to various causes and has a designated funding program area focusing on sustainability and the environment. Over the years the Foundation contributed $13,204,093 to Australian environmental organisations. The current strategy of The Myer Foundation prioritises three themes: acting bigger, adapting better and family engagement. We understand that the issues the Foundation seeks to address are pervasive and complex and that a single organisation cannot hope to make a significant difference to those issues. It is essential that we work with others to achieve significant impact, hence having a variety of other organisations to grant to or with is critical to our strategic approach. In this respect the Register of Environmental Organisations plays a central role in relation to The Myer Foundation's environmental grantmaking. While The Myer Foundation does not require an organisation to hold Deductible Gift Recipient status, it is clear that DGR is essential for environment organisations to attract resources from the wider philanthropic sector and Australian society.

Many pieces are made in white porcelain, some with an added iron rim - suggesting an every day metal object whilst being made in a material like porcelain that has such a wide ranging history and associations of desire and commodity. This can create a juxtaposition between the precious and the commonplace. The exploration of objects presents the possibility of constructing narratives - imbued with multiple social and cultural histories and interpretations. The porcelain objects can in this way have the potential to act as visual metaphors for cultural and historical convergence. The works also endeavor to convey some of the domestic history of objects by highlighting the potential abstractions that arise on the surface through their use and subsequent deterioration. Similarly I am exploring the subtle potential of high fire glazes on form. This can offer up rich visual surfaces and tonal possibilities to give greater sense of depth and tone between the corresponding works. I have always been drawn to the abstract in art – the possibility for understanding through a more ambiguous and imperceptible type of knowing. The intersection of form, colour, tone and light are also constant drivers in my
