Through the incredible support of our Schools Program Partner, Gandel Philanthropy, Love Your Gallery provides funding to regional and rural schools to visit the Gallery.
In particular, this funding enables schools demonstrating need to visit the Gallery and receive free entry plus travel costs subsidised, to view our latest international exhibition The Body Beautiful in Ancient Greece.
The Body Beautiful in Ancient Greece features more than 100 treasures from antiquity, with the earliest object in the exhibition being some 4,500 years old, dating from around 2600-2400 BC.
Included are marble and bronze sculptures, terracotta vases and gold jewelry.
This visually engaging and thought-provoking exhibition is on tour from the renowned British Museum, and explores ideas of representation and how these artworks have shaped the way we think about and look at ourselves.
Through the program, the Gallery will be able to provide free entry for schools plus bus subsidies, as well as education resources and support materials, again at no cost.
All school visits to the Gallery and exhibition are tailored to meet the individual year levels of the students, and are based on the new AusVELS, and VCE / VCAL curriculum, addressing standards from the Arts, History and Health and Physical Education.
"Speechless! After three weeks of studying Classical Greek Art, it was fabulous to see the students, wide eyed and inquiring, soaking in everything that was on offer.
We thank the sponsors for our trip - the funding has helped get our students to experience something that is normally difficult to fund" - Pyramid Hill College
All schools and year levels are eligible, and are encouraged to contact the Gallery directly to find out more about this amazing opportunity.
