OUR PATRON
Dr Judith Neilson
We are proud to have Dr Judith Neilson as our patron. The reach of her Judith Neilson Foundation is global and she strives to provide a powerful force for change in the lives of vulnerable people in Australia and around the world. Judith has a profound love of contemporary art, is an advocate for women’s rights and is a champion of education and life skills.
Dr Neilson was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2016 for significant service to the arts through the museums and galleries sector, and as a benefactor of cultural and educational organisations.
Born in Zimbabwe and brought up in South Africa before immigrating to Australia in the early 1980s, Judith maintained her deep love of Africa.
