In 2023 and 2024, Patternmakers is working with the National Gallery of Australia and regional galleries around the country to evaluate the impact of NGA tours.

Each year, the National Gallery of Australia creates and tours a range of exhibitions, from contemporary and historical works by Australian and international artists. The tours range from large-scale exhibitions with complex needs for climate controlled spaces, to virtual reality experiences and Art Cases able to travel to schools, libraries and aged care homes to inspire creativity, inclusivity, and learning.

Patternmakers will be collaborating with the NGA team and regional galleries to gather data and understand how audiences and communities engage and interact with tours, what they take away, and how all involved can work together to continue growing the impact of Australia’s largest collection in regional places.

 

Take the survey

Have you engaged with a National Gallery of Australia touring exhibition? Whether that be the Terminus VR experience, the Know My Name: Australian Women Artists exhibition or Patricia Piccinini's Skywhales, we want to hear from you. 

In June 2024, The National Gallery of Australia, in partnership with galleries around Australia, is launching a survey of Australian visitors to touring exhibitions. We want to know what touring exhibitions resonate with you - and how Australian communities can get even more value from access to the national collection. 

This short survey only takes 10-15 minutes, and by participating, you can enter the draw to win one of 3 x $200 Mastercard e-giftcards.

By entering the survey you are consenting to Patternmakers’ Privacy Policy.
