The Board of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia (NPGA) has announced the appointment of Karen Quinlan as its incoming Director.

For the past 18 years, Quinlan has been Director of the Bendigo Art Gallery, serving as its Curator for three years prior to that. Under her leadership the Bendigo Art Gallery has come to be recognised internationally for the quality of its exhibitions, many undertaken with overseas partners, such as the National Portrait Gallery in London. Many of those exhibitions have focused on portraiture, such as the iconic Grace Kelly exhibition and the recently announced staging of the Tudors to Windsors exhibition.
