Lisa Roet Sculpture Loaned to Northcliffe Gallery Under Federal Program
A contemporary bronze sculpture weighing 98 kilograms, created by Australian artist Lisa Roet, is set to be loaned to Painted Tree Gallery located in Northcliffe, Western Australia, for a period of five years. This arrangement is made possible through the Albanese Labor Government's Sharing the National Collection initiative. Arts Minister Tony Burke highlighted that this program allows regional communities to experience artworks usually found in larger cities, reinforcing the idea that the national collection is a treasure for all Australians, not just those in Canberra. Additionally, Senator Dorinda Cox from Western Australia commended the community advantages of the initiative.
