    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

    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.

    Kirsten Coelho Curriculum Vitae Born 1966, Denmark 1984-1988 South Australian School of Art, Adelaide, Australia, BA Design 2000-2004 South Australian School of Art, Adelaide, Australia, MA Visual Art Working in Adelaide, Australia My ceramics practice focuses on the exploration and reinterpretation of utilitarian ceramics, glass and metal wares. 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

  • Another Two Diagonal Avenues Intersect the Site, Radiating from the Central Section of the Gardens on Carlton Street, to the Two Southern Entry Points
    ROYAL EXHIBITION BUILDING AND CARLTON GARDENS Another two diagonal avenues intersect the site, radiating from the central section of the gardens on Carlton Street, to the two southern entry points. The avenue on the east side is planted with Plane trees (Platanus x acerifolia). Near the Works Depot, in the avenue’s most northern extent, the trees are planted at wide spacings. This may have been a realisation of John Guilfoyle’s 1916 proposal to remove every second plane tree from the South Garden Plane Tree Avenue. It is unclear when the removal was to take place. The plane tree avenue referred to may have been that in the North Garden and not the one in the South Garden. In the southern section the trees are closely spaced, forming a denser over canopy and providing a stronger sense of enclosure. The avenue on the opposite diagonal on the west side of the gardens is planted with Grey Poplars (Populus x canescens) also reaching senescence. A replanting on the south-west side of this avenue with poplars occurred in 2006. The avenue’s integrity is strongest near Carlton Street where the trees are regularly spaced and provide good canopy coverage. 4.4.5 North Garden Boundary Trees The layout of the North Garden in the 1890s was primarily based on extensive avenue plantings crossing the site, with little in the way of other ornamentation. Individual specimen trees were mainly planted around the perimeter of the site, forming loose boundary plantations. The spaces between the avenue plantations remained relatively free of in-fill plantings, with expanses of turf being the primary surface treatment in these areas.

Mr Russell, currently Group Chief Financial Officer with the McAleese Group will take up the role in November this year. MFI Chairman Martyn Myer said that the board is delighted to welcome Mr Russell to the Myer Family Group to continue the 90-year-old company’s growth strategy into the next decade. This includes increasing MFI’s investment in operating businesses. “John brings a wealth of experience with a proven investment background both in Private Equity and through having held senior executive roles in several operating companies,” Mr Myer said. “For some time MFI has been focused on increasing investment in operating businesses and John’s experience aligns with this strategy.” Mr Russell said that MFI provided a wide scope of opportunity and he was looking forward to contributing to the group’s next phase of growth. “MFI is uniquely placed to invest in and contribute to businesses at all stages of development,” Mr Russell said. “This strategy offers tremendous opportunity to both MFI and the management teams of the companies in which it invests.” Peter Hodgson, current Chief Executive Officer, who has led the group for over seven years will retire in September. “Peter led MFI through a very challenging period in the financial markets. He played an integral role in managing MFI’s investment portfolio and building a diverse range of operating businesses,” Mr Myer said.
