Introduction
- This policy governs the operation of the Drill Hall Gallery.
Principles
- It is the policy of the Drill Hall Gallery to enhance the reputation of The Australian National University as a patron, teacher and researcher of the visual arts by:
- presenting a selective program of diverse and stimulating exhibitions that highlight achievements in contemporary visual arts, both nationally and internationally;
- mounting link exhibitions developed in conjunction with the University's wide ranging academic interests or to coincide with major conferences and public events;
- showing exhibitions of an historical or social context or nature offered by touring agencies, including national, state and regional galleries, University galleries and overseas public cultural agencies
- presenting lectures and seminars in conjunction with its exhibitions that will have a broad educational role;
- exhibiting work which would not usually be shown by a commercial/private gallery, such as work from public or private collections, work of an ephemeral nature, or work which is in other ways not commercially oriented.
- As a non-profit organisation, the Drill Hall Gallery has a policy of not selling any of the works that it exhibits.
