‘Blot’ and ‘Bouquet’ Annual Appeal

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity shown by our 2025 donors, Boyd Circle, partners, friends and volunteers.

Last year, support enabled us to embark on one of the Robin Boyd Foundation’s biggest restoration projects yet! We’re repairing Walsh Street’s facade – from the bottom step of its striking staircase right up to the top of the clerestory windows. This work will enable Walsh Street to continue to look its best, protect it from degradation and ensure we may safely welcome visitors.

Alongside your generosity, this project has been supported by the Victorian Heritage Restoration Fund, Watson Architecture + Design, SIDA Constructions, Felicetti Engineers, Haymes Paint and Restore Conservation Services.

Once the work is complete, we’re excited to continue expanding our convivial program that promotes an understanding of the diversity of Boyd’s legacy – through the keeping, studying and exhibiting of his work and others reflecting his interests and values.

To achieve this, we need your help!

When you make a donation in 2026, you’ll help create engaging exhibitions and educational programs, preserve and share our Walsh Street Archive, spark debate over ‘blots’ and ‘bouquets’, and champion modern attitudes through our heritage advocacy campaigns.

Your support will build a house museum shaped by care, community, and conversation that advances critical thought, culture, and creativity.

Inspired by Boyd’s spirited authorship in the Students Society of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects’ publication, Smudges, you can choose whether to celebrate our work through the award of a ‘bouquet’ or champion critical thought by bestowing us with a ‘blot’.

Either way, your donation will support the work of the Robin Boyd Foundation!

For support of ‘blots’ and ‘bouquets’ $2500 and under, donate online today.
