The Naomi Milgrom Foundation champions art, design and architecture to improve Australian lives.
Tadao Ando, Pritzker Prize-Winning Architect, Selected for 10th MPavilion
We create extraordinary projects with extraordinary people that would not otherwise happen. Exploring design’s close interconnections with contemporary culture—we create opportunities for the community, search for liveability and generate impact through placemaking.
As part of ongoing commissions like MPavilion and Living Cities Forum, we are able to work with amazing artists, designers and thinkers to initiate valuable conversations about the world we live in.
Essential listening for anyone interested in art, curation and culture: Hans Ulrich Obrist spoke in early May with Victoria Lynn about what a building without walls can do for bringing art to the community. Exploring experimentation, conversation marathons, how early morning joggers use pavilions, a world after COVID-19, digital engagement, Roland Barthes, and the value of art in a crisis — this conversation is not to be missed.
