Everyone is welcome to join the Friends of Penrith Regional Gallery.

With the formation of Penrith Regional Gallery in 1981, the Friends of the Lewers Bequest transitioned to Friends of Penrith Regional Gallery.

Since then, the Friends have helped to sustain and enrich the Gallery through their volunteerism, advocacy and fundraising.

Today, the Friends meet monthly to devise and plan fundraising activities to support vital collection conservation and management works.

"Those who knew Margo and her daughters valued the artistic legacy the property represented and believed that the western suburbs of Sydney deserved the cultural facility of which the Lewers bequest could be the catalyst. They decided to band together as Friends of the Lewers Bequest to change public opinion on this issue, and to persuade Penrith City Council to accept the Lewers daughters’ generous offer."
