Gifts of Artwork

Artworks in the WestPAC collections are acquired primarily through gifts, mostly given by the artists themselves or donated by heirs and collectors. Artworks are displayed throughout Westport’s municipal buildings and public schools.

If you wish to donate an original work of art to the WestPAC collections, please send an image and description of the object by email westpac@westportps.org

We will send you a Donation Inquiry Form to complete. Together with Westport Arts Advisory Committee (WAAC), WestPAC Committee will review each donation request in accordance with our Collection Management Guidelines. If the work is of interest, we will make an appointment to view the artwork in person to assess condition and suitability to our collections, before making a formal recommendation to the respective governing body.

Volunteer with WestPAC Committee
