Bequests

The Art Gallery of Western Australia has historically benefited from the generosity of people contributing to the development of the State Art Collection through bequests.

Bequests can take the form of a specific asset, such as a work of art you may wish to pass on for the enjoyment of future generations. It could also be a set amount of funds or a proportion of your estate.

If you would like any advice or guidance in relation to bequests, the Head of Development and Access would be pleased to offer any assistance you may need.  As might be expected, this discussion would be treated with strict confidence.

We understand the composing of your will is an extremely personal matter, and naturally some people will prefer not to discuss it with those outside of their immediate family. However, if you would like to support the Art Gallery of Western Australia in this unique and special way it would be greatly appreciated if you could let the Foundation know of your intentions, so that we can acknowledge your support now.

A bequest will allow you and your family to make a significant and lasting contribution to the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
