  • Jump on Board High-Performing Not-For-Profit Boards in Fundraising
    JUMP ON BOARD HIGH-PERFORMING NOT-FOR-PROFIT BOARDS IN FUNDRAISING November 2019 PREPARED BY Melissa Smith Director & Founder, Noble Ambition in partnership with Perpetual ABOUT THE AUTHOR Melissa is former Global Fundraiser of the Year (IFC, 2011) and Australian Fundraiser of the Year (FIA, 2011). She has facilitated philanthropic giving across education, the arts and health, and worked with hundreds of donors in Australia, Asia and the United States. Melissa has led four fundraising programs from start-up to established, from Powerhouse Museum and Sydney Opera House in the arts, to University of Technology, Sydney and RMIT University, in education. Melissa has a BA Hons (First Class, USyd), Masters of Management (UTS); is a Churchill Fellow (2007) and a graduate of University of Melbourne’s Asialink Leaders Program and Benevolent Society’s Sydney Leadership Program. She has presented her research internationally in areas including the impact of culture on philanthropy, international best practice in arts philanthropy, and the role of leadership in philanthropy. Melissa’s lifelong interest and experience enables her to understand both philanthropy and fundraising. As a thought leader in the philanthropic and fundraising sector, she is in the privileged position of possessing the practical and strategic skills to support both pillars equally. Jump on Board: High-performing not-for-profit boards in fundraising 2 Philanthropic fundraising in Australia is in a state of rapid change. While mass giving is in decline, major gifts are on the rise, and in coming years we will see the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in our nation’s history. This undoubtedly presents an exciting opportunity for the non-for-profit (NFP) sector to attract significant support, but also raises questions about how prepared NFPs are to maximise this opportunity.

  • Sylvia Kanytjupai Ken, Tjungkara Ken & the Ken Sisters Collaborative
    Sylvia Kanytjupai Ken, Tjungkara Ken & the Ken Sisters Collaborative Seven Sisters: Kungkarangkalpa 24 August – 18 September 2021 The exhibition ‘Seven Sisters’ showcases the distinct artistic styles and visions of Sylvia Ken and Tjungkara Ken, two award-winning female indigenous artists, both at the forefront of contemporary painting in Australia. Alongside the work of Sylvia Ken and Tjungkara Ken, the exhibition also features large scale paintings by the renowned Ken Sisters Collaborative (Freda Brady, Sandra Ken, Tjungkara Ken, Maringka Tunkin and Yaritji Young). Based in the Amata community in the remote Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of South Australia and painting at Tjala Arts, Sylvia and Tjungkara’s evocative paintings are a celebration of Anangu culture and connection to country alongside their individual expression of 'Tjukurpa'(ancestral knowledge and law). Sylvia and Tjungkara paint, in different but related ways, the Seven Sisters creation story, an ancestral narrative of the Pleiades constellations (the sisters) and a sinister man (Orion) who followed them across earth and sky. Both Sylvia and Tjungkara’s family are traditional owners of significant sites where the Seven Sisters story takes place with each painting referencing this story and the important sites within the vast landscape. These stories are the artists’ birthright and come with a responsibility to continue the passing of culture and knowledge to the next generation. “I listen to the old people’s stories and I think about these stories, and then ideas come for my paintings. I listen to my mother and father, to my grandmother and grandfather. I listen when they are talking about ‘Tjukurpa’ and telling creation stories and when they say to me ‘No, you should paint this way, the Seven Sisters’’.

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.

  • Brett Whiteley: on the Water
    Brett Whiteley: On the Water Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre 16th November 2012 – 27th January 2013 Education Kit: Year 7 to 12 Contents: About this Exhibition Brett Whiteley: brief Artist Biography Process Curriculum Connections Art Historical and Critical Study Questions Artmaking Activities Cross-Curricular activities Glossary of Terms References Acknowledgements Images About this Exhibition Brett Whiteley was one of the most celebrated Australian artists of the twentieth century. This major exhibition Brett Whiteley: On the Water features over 60 works including drawings, paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures. A highlight being his last unfinished work, Unfinished Beach Polyptych: six imposing panels leaving the Brett Whiteley Studio for the first time in 17 years. Whiteley was an artist who had a deep fascination with nature. Two subjects were the mainstay of his work – the landscape and the nude – and with stunning virtuosity and outstanding draughtsmanship he rendered them with a sensuousness and unique lyrical quality. Brett Whiteley: On the Water explores this special relationship Whiteley had with these subjects, the deep blue of Sydney Harbour, the glistening beaches, and the pleasurable lifestyle of the bathers languidly basking in the sun. The images tell of sensory pleasures derived from total immersion in the surf, to the meditative mood of simply staring out to sea and gazing at the harbour from his beloved home in Lavender Bay. Brett Whiteley: On the Water is presented by Hazelhurst Regional Gallery in association with the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Brett Whiteley Studio and works from private and public collections. This exhibition is especially relevant given Hazelhurst Regional Gallery’s location in Sydney’s south, surrounded by beaches, bays and rivers nestled in the Royal National Park.
