Devonport City Council invites expressions of interest (EOI) from individuals or organisations to undertake a complete valuation of the Devonport Regional Gallery's Permanent Collection of artworks.
Council requires a suitably qualified valuer, preferably recognised as an Approved Valuer by the Cultural Gifts Program.
Council will preference a valuer that can provide a valuation of all segments of the collection, or a valuer who will manage the valuation and sub-contracting segments of the collection beyond their experience to suitably qualified individuals or
organisations.
Unless otherwise unavoidable, Council does not wish to coordinate multiple contracts to undertake valuations of specific items or segments of the collection.
Collection overview:
The Devonport Regional Gallery (DRG) Permanent Collection consists of over 2,600 objects and over 80,000 photographic negatives, acquired between 1974 and 2021.

On-site visitation is strongly encouraged, and should be considered as part of a submission.
