Trevor Andersen (1931–2025), our founding director, retired from the Board of Directors in February 2023. We acknowledge his commitment to the Foundation and the enormous effort that was involved in establishing the Foundation and for instituting the focus of the Foundation’s charitable grants and activities. His widow, Robin Wines, remains a lifelong member of the Foundation.

The Directors bring to the Foundation expertise from a variety of backgrounds such as the law, educational administration, teaching, tertiary lecturing in art, art criticism, gallery administration, theatre and music direction, art consultancy and accounting.

All directors provide their service on an honorary basis.

An Art Policy Advisory Committee, under the chairmanship of Dr Christopher Allen, comprises Michelle Hiscock, along with Terence Clarke AM, Kevin McKay and Christopher Puplick.
