Gift an artwork

The UQ Art Collection is an extraordinary teaching and learning resource comprising more than 4,400 artworks, predominantly by Australian artists and spanning the colonial era to the present day.

We welcome gifts of artwork that align with the University's Art Collection Framework and invite you to contact Acting Director Peta Rake to discuss your proposed gift. As a guide, Collection priorities include works by contemporary artists from Australia that foster new and innovative artistic inquiry.

Gifted works are used for research, teaching and public enjoyment and are expertly cared for and managed in line with the highest international museum standards. 

Your generous artwork gift can be made in the following ways:

a straight gift while the donor is living with no tax benefit
a Cultural Gift via the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program (CGP) where the donor receives a tax benefit
a Bequest – where the artwork is gifted from the late donor’s estate with no tax benefit
