Artbank
The Artbank was founded in 1980 by the Australian central government to promote national artists. It is part of the Federal Department of Communications and the Arts and the largest collector of works of art in Australia. Artbank acquires works of art and rents them to public and private institutions, companies and private individuals.
It is a state subsidy for artists, which is in contrast to the art banking of private banks.

In 2011, the Artbank held more than 10,000 Aboriginal paintings, sculptures , drawings, videos and works of art by 3,500 national artists. In the same year it was announced that all purchased works would be put on the Internet. Artbank has showrooms in Sydney , Melbourne and Perth .
