 | | After a protracted illness, Linda Slutzkin, former Head of Public Programmes and Manager of
the Travelling Art Exhibition, Art Gallery of New South Wales, passed away on 3 November 2005.
Linda was known to many Gallery colleagues, artists, performers, teachers, volunteer guides and
museum professionals. Over nineteen years at the Art Gallery, from 1978 to 1997, Linda made a
huge impact on many people - and on museum education at the Gallery, across New South Wales and
Australia. She was greatly respected, admired and loved. She will be sadly missed.
Biography >
"On a recent visit to the Art Gallery of NSW, I was heartened
to find a black & white photograph titled
'Swing Set' by Trent Parke. It was kindly donated
by Linda's life partner Albie Thoms. The plaque reads
'Given in memory of Linda Slutzkin Head of Public
Programmes, Art Gallery of New South Wales'. I know
Linda would have been very pleased with Albie's choice as
Trent Parke was a photographer Linda both admired and
supported. Linda's warmth and professionalism was always
a priority in her dealings with staff and colleagues. I'm
sure they appreciate Albie's gesture as much as we, her
family do. Thank you Albie, on behalf of us all."
