Established in 2022, the ICONS Syndicate is a group committed to cultivating and nurturing Australia’s cultural life. Through their support of the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibition program, the group helps the Gallery to reach as many Australians as possible. Each year, the ICONS Syndicate supports the major summer exhibition, allowing the Gallery to be more ambitious, innovative and creative in its delivery.
The ICONS Syndicate has supported the Gallery’s presentation of:
- Shakespeare to Winehouse: Icons from the National Portrait Gallery, London
- Ralph Heimans: Portraiture. Power. Influence
- Carol Jerrems: Portraits
In 2025, the ICONS Syndicate will support the presentation of Kaylene Whiskey’s solo exhibition, on show from November 2025.
