The M&G NSW Visual Arts Reference Committee is made up of diverse representatives of the gallery sector, valued for their expertise and knowledge in the area of visual arts. The Committee provides advice on the needs and priorities of the NSW public gallery sector and recommendations and feedback on M&G NSW’s programs and services.

 

Importantly, they provide specialised advice on relevant professional development activities and other strategic projects, research and policy areas. The Visual Arts Reference Committee meets two or more times a year and recently met to provide feedback and advice on the M&G NSW Strategic Plan.
