The Collectors

Outback Arts has been very fortunate to have been approached by two private art collectors, Yvon Gatineau and Peter Jackson, in 2005 with their intention to donate some original artworks to Outback Arts. Their idea being for the far west region to gain access to predominately modern art pieces that they have painstakingly collected over the years and which are normally easily accessible to city dwellers.

Due to the remoteness and lack of cultural infrastructure in the far west region they wanted the communities to view and enjoy the pieces that they have gained so much pleasure from. In mid September 2007, Outback Arts received 5 more magnificent pieces of artwork to add to the collection. Since then, Outback Arts has continued to receive many more pieces from their generous donors.

In total Outback Arts has more than 40 pieces, in varying mediums from painting through to sculpture and photography and in size, very large to the very small.
