PATRONS' PROGRAMME
Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery patrons' programme is designed for individuals who wish to support our exhibitions, artists' projects, and enjoy a special relationship with the gallery. Each year we offer our patrons a unique series of intimate events where you'll be introduced to artists, curators, collectors, and gain insight into the varied contexts in which art is made and shown. The programme includes opportunities to attend ticketed events and informative, stimulating off-site trips.

Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery was established through the generous donations of a group of Founding Patrons, led by the Adam Foundation, who saw the potential for a gallery at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. Building on this legacy, your annual donation of $500 will go towards the work of the gallery in enabling ambitious artists' projects, generating new research, and deepening understanding of important ideas and practices.

If you would like to speak to someone at the gallery about joining our patrons' programme, please contact Ann Gale ann.gale@vuw.ac.nz.

OTHER WAYS TO SUPPORT THE GALLERY
Visiting the gallery, talking to friends, family and colleagues about our work, joining our mailing list, attending events, becoming a volunteer: these are all forms of support we value and encourage.

We acknowledge our Board Members and Art Collection Trustees who offer invaluable support through their time and expertise.

Since opening in September 1999 the gallery's core operations have been proudly funded by Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. Funds are also raised from grants, sponsorships and donations. These additional resources are crucial to the fulfilment of the gallery's vision, as are the relationships we foster with funding agencies, public bodies, institutional partners, corporate supporters, and all the individuals who believe in us and have become patrons over the years.

We also encourage gifts and bequests to Ngā Puhipuhi o Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University Art Collection and are happy to talk you through the process. The Art Collection's acquisition programme is facilitated through the Victoria University of Wellington Foundation and managed by Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery Director. For more information about gifts and bequests please contact Senior Development Manager, Victoria University of Wellington Foundation, corinne.barnard@vuw.ac.nz.
