QVMAG Arts Foundation
The QVMAG Arts Foundation supports the development of the Fine and Decorative Art Collections of QVMAG.
The Foundation is the primary source of funds for the acquisition of works for these collections.

Masterpieces for Tasmania Fund
The Masterpieces for Tasmania is an annual appeal that gives everyone the opportunity to help QVMAG to acquire a masterpiece for the QVMAG collection.
In this way Tasmanians from all corners of the state have the chance to have a permanent, immediate and important impact on the development of what is an art collection of national significance.
The Masterpieces for Tasmania appeal was officially launched in 2013. This initiative has brought together individual donors from not only the immediate Launceston region but all over Tasmania. The program is building a wonderful legacy for future generations.
The Masterpieces for Tasmania Collection includes:
- 2013-14 Fred Williams, Potboil Shoals, Flinders Island, 1974-75
- 2015-16 Rick Amor, Erith and Deal Island, Bass Strait, 2014
- 2018-19 Ben Quilty, Development Application – John Glover, 2017
