Judith Neilson Projects is a benevolent arts organisation established by Dr Judith Neilson AM

Judith Neilson is an Australian philanthropist, best-known for building one of the world’s most significant collections of Chinese contemporary art which is displayed at her White Rabbit Gallery in Sydney.

She maintains a long-standing interest in architecture and a range of humanitarian causes. She has endowed a Chair of Architecture at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) which leads research into innovative housing solutions for people displaced by natural disasters and conflict.

Judith Neilson’s motivating belief is that the arts and architecture make a vital global contribution to humanity and should be accessible to all – in all the world’s places and cultures.

JN Projects aims to contribute to the expansion of creative ideas in the visual and performing arts and architecture.

Judith Neilson’s cultural entities and projects include:

JN Projects -Phoenix Central Park

Phoenix Central Park

Judith Neilson envisioned a space in which architecture and interior design as well as the visual and performing arts would each enhance and embrace the other for an immersive total experience – a ‘gesamtkunstwerk’, or ‘total work of art’.

Performances at Phoenix Central Park will be diverse and eclectic; audiences can expect anything from the classics to experimental music – from solo piano recitals to opera, from contemporary dance to poetry readings, and from chamber music to edgy performance art.

The building, by Durbach Block Jaggers and John Wardle Architects, includes a gallery, a central garden, and an intimate performance space.
