People

Under the Art Gallery of New South Wales Act 1980, the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ Board of Trustees, known as the Trust, is made up of 12 trustees – ‘at least two of whom shall be knowledgeable and experienced in the visual arts’.

The Art Gallery has an executive team, headed by the director, who manage the Art Gallery’s activities.

The Art Gallery is also responsible for providing administrative support to two other entities, each with their own board: the Art Gallery of NSW Foundation and the Brett Whiteley Foundation.
