Artbank is a support agency that fosters Australian artists through the collecting, commissioning, curating and leasing of art. The collection holds over 10,000 works and through the leasing arm is dispersed throughout Australia and internationally. Artbank gives Australian artists a platform to have their practice supported commercially as well as providing exposure to broad audiences.
