How does it help the Gallery?
ACG survives through grant funding, annual appeals, the support of the community and generous donors like yourself. Since the contributions are given to the gallery in several key waves throughout the year, the Birthday Club is a way for the gallery to supplement those resources and have support coming in on a monthly basis.
