VisAsia Council

VisAsia recognises the crucial role which our understanding of Asian culture will play in the development of Asia Australian relations in the 21st century. Its establishment will provide the resources for everyone to embrace and appreciate the rich and varied aesthetic traditions of Asia.

Edmund Capon AM OBE, Director, Art Gallery of New South Wales

The VisAsia Council is a dedicated group of business, academic and community leaders who share the vision for a greater understanding and appreciation of Asian art and culture in Australia. The Council achieves this by collectively and individually adding vital support to Australia's leading centre for Asian art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

The VisAsia Council was established by the Gallery in 2001 in recognition of Australia's growing involvement with the cultures of Asia and was designed to provide company executives with a personal association with the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

The VisAsia Council assists the Gallery with its commitment to promote and cultivate a better understanding and enjoyment of Asian art and culture within Australia. Funds raised are devoted exclusively to the sponsorship of Asian exhibitions and public programs.
