The Jacaranda Art Society Collection
Established from 1961 – 1987, this foundation collection was gifted to the gallery when it opened in 1988 by the Jacaranda Art Society. The collection had been established through the annual Jacaranda Art Prize inspiring the gallery’s flagship drawing award, the JADA, which launched in 1988. No works are acquired into this historical collection.
