Established in 1980, Artbank purchases contemporary Australian art in order to support and promote emerging artists. The program was initiated by the Australian Government and is now part of the Office of the Arts with over 10,000 artworks in the collection. To gain revenues to maintain and expand the collection, Artbank rents works to businesses and individuals across the country.

Brenda May Gallery is pleased to announce that four of Al Munro's unique screen prints from her 'Mineral Crystal' series have been acquired by Artbank for their collection. Munro's current exhibition considers the science of crystallography which studies the arrangement of atoms within a solid. Artbank previously purchased work for their collection from Munro's Future Farming show.
