The Founding 50 represent a special group of early supporters who will help shape the future of the Gallery’s membership program. As the first 50 members to join at ENGAGE level, they are more than participants, they are pioneers, setting the tone for what membership will become and playing a vital role in building its community, culture, and impact.
Recognised for their belief in the vision from the very beginning, the Founding 50 will hold a unique place in the Gallery’s story. Their support lays the foundation for growth and innovation, helping to establish Gallery Membership as a vibrant, connected group of like-minded people. As the program evolves, this group will be remembered for leading the way and helping to define what it means to be part of the Gallery.
