Artbank helps tell the story of contemporary Australian art. With a mandate to collect contemporary Australian art in support of their core objectives, Artbank is now one of the largest collections of contemporary Australian art in the world and includes some of the finest examples of Indigenous and non-Indigenous art produced over the past four decades. With over 10,000 works of art in media and reflecting the cultural and gender diversity of artists practising in Australia, it is one of the most representative of all state and federal collections held on behalf of the Australian public. Artbank also has the fastest growing collection of digital and media art in the country.

Artbank's collection is able to grow each year thanks to the support of their customers - Australian local, state and federal governments, businesses and individuals who participate in the Art Rental Program.
