THE MACKELVIE SOCIETY

In 2019, the Mackelvie Trust established a philanthropic supporters’ group, the Mackelvie Society. The society is to generate further backing for the Mackelvie Art Collection through the formation of an acquisition fund.

The collection’s depth and value is enhanced by gifts, bequests and patronage.

The Mackelvie Society and its members enrich the collection by: 

• Supporting the preservation and enhancement of the Mackelvie Collection

• Keeping the Mackelvie Collection alive and growing through the acquisition fund

• Raising awareness of the Mackelvie Collection as an Auckland “treasure” and fulfilling Mackelvie’s wishes for the collection to be a “teaching collection” for New Zealand
