The Museum of Australian Photography is holding a fund-raising auction at the James Makin Gallery in Collingwood at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, 6 June 2024.


One of the artworks in the auction: ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being 2016’ by Petrina Hicks; pigment ink-jet print 77.0 x 100.0 cm. Courtesy of the artist and Michael Reid Galleries (Sydney and Berlin).

In this ‘auction with a difference’ the museum has joined forces with exhibiting artists to create a unique auction where they will share equally in the sale proceeds of their work, giving buyers the opportunity to have a direct impact on artists and their practice. Funds raised through the sale of artworks will support MAPh’s exhibition program, artists and their creative practice. The auction will take place between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, 6 June 2024 at 89 Islington St, Collingwood, Victoria 3066. Drinks and canapés will be served.
