Donations or bequests of artworks are welcomed for the University of Canterbury Art Collection.

Donations

Donations enable us to build a strong and dynamic collection that is an excellent resource for display, teaching and research. Donations may also be made in order to honour or remember someone special.

An Art Collection Policy has been developed to provide guidelines for adding to our Art Collection. Copies are available from the Library.

If you are considering making a donation to the art collection, please contact the Art Collections Curator for assistance.

Bequests

If you are considering making a bequest, do talk with us first to ensure that your Will is worded in a way that achieves exactly what you intended, and matches the needs of the University and its students. We will also send you a brochure that gives you all the information you need, including a suggested form of words to include in your Will.
