The National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program was established by the Australian Government to expand our appreciation of Australian and overseas cultural material. It achieves this by enabling National collecting institutions to bring works from Australian and overseas collections to all Australians, through national exhibitions or tours.

     

The Australian Government International Exhibitions Insurance (AGIEI) program was established by the Australian Government to provide funding for the purchase of insurance for significant cultural exhibitions.  Without AGIEI, the high cost of commercial insurance would prohibit the staging of many major touring exhibitions in Australia.
