It neither illustrates, nor narrates. The text, concretely actual and precious, in its original manuscript, does remain complete in its roundness and maximum in its creative artistry. THE ABYSS Unravelled comes along the harrowing of the other, not alienated, yet refreshing moments of the Η ΥΠΕΡΒΑΣΗ contemporary artistic creation. In the exhibition, works by Greek and international artists share in, pointing out the trauma of birth, the luminous interval of life and creativity, and death. -

Page 1 of 10 MARKETING AND EVENTS COMMITTEE Agenda Item 5.4 REPORT 8 May 2007 EVENTS REPORT – 1 NOVEMBER 2006 TO 28 FEBRUARY 2007 Division Commerce & Marketing Presenter Peter Stewart, Manager Events Melbourne Purpose 1. To inform the Marketing and Events Committee of the events conducted within the City of Melbourne between 1 November 2006 and 28 February 2007. Recommendation from Management 2. That the Marketing and Events Committee accepts the Events Report – 1 November 2006 to 28 February 2007. Comments 3. The events outlined in this report relate to those coordinated through the Events Melbourne Branch of the City of Melbourne. A small number of arts events are coordinated through the Arts & Culture Branch and are not within the scope of this report. Water Restrictions and Events 4. The City of Melbourne has initiated a number of proactive strategies to significantly reduce the water consumption and water usage during events as a result of the current state-wide water restrictions. 5. These strategies involve utilising alternative or modified water-filled traffic management treatments; minimising water usage during vending, food preparation and drinking water fountains; using concrete/sand-filled weights instead of water-filled weights in infrastructure weighting; and utilising Class A recycled water for portable toilet flushing rather than drinking water. 6. As a result of these strategies being implemented, recent events have significantly reduced the level of water usage during events, for example New Year’s Eve 2006 utilised 250,000 litres less water and Moomba Waterfest utilised 300,000 litres less water than in previous years. -

Sidney Myer Fund The Myer Foundation Annual Report 2018–19 Contents Mission 3 How to Read this Report 4 Joint Statement 5 Sidney Myer Fund Trustees 6 The Myer Foundation Directors 7 Strategic Theme: People 8 Strategic Theme: Organisations 10 Strategic Theme: Beyond Grantmaking 12 Strategic Theme: Family Engagement 14 Grant Listings 16 Summary Financial Information 23 L2R’s Due West 1 2 The Sidney Myer Fund and The Myer Foundation are two separate philanthropic entities of Myer family philanthropy. 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 act created the Sidney Myer Fund which will exist in perpetuity. The income of the Fund is distributed annually. The Myer Foundation was established in 1959 by Sidney Myer’s sons, the late Kenneth Myer AC DSC, and Baillieu Myer AC, as a way to support initiatives and new opportunities arising from contemporary issues. The Myer Foundation was endowed through Kenneth Myer’s estate following his death in 1992. The Sidney Myer Fund and The Myer Foundation continue the legacy of Myer family generosity, through members of four succeeding generations of the Myer family, who give in many ways, to make significant and lasting contributions to our society. 3 How to Read this Report The FY19 Annual Report is organised Each pillar of the strategy features in a double page spread in this report. -
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. -
