Join us as we delve in to the history of Rockhampton Art Gallery, through the life and memories of Merilyn Luck, the longest serving trustee for Rockhampton Art Gallery Trust.

Bianca Acimovic, Rockhampton Museum of Art Director speaks with Merilyn Luck OAM.

Merilyn Luck (nee Beak) has made an outstanding contribution to her local community of Rockhampton through her involvement and support of the Arts, the Anglican Church, Central Queensland University and both Grammar Schools. Merilyn’s involvement with the Rockhampton Art Gallery began in the late 1970s when she was one of the inaugural donors to establish an art collection. Her enthusiastic efforts have contributed to the institution now having one of regional Queensland’s most significant and valuable art collections, home to work by significant Australian artists. Merilyn became a Trustee of the Rockhampton Art Gallery Trust in 1994 and was appointed Chair in 2007 before retiring in 2016.
