Fundraising records broken at annual event

THE All About Art team is celebrating another successful exhibition after breaking its fundraising record at its November event.

The annual event, which ran from November 28 to November 30, featured an art exhibition and sale, where all profits were donated to local organisation, the Peace of Mind Foundation.

Efforts from this year’s fundraiser will result in a donation of more than $24,000, an increase of around $3,000 compared to 2024’s event.

 

Event organiser Roe Clapham said it was amazing to be able to beat the fundraising efforts of previous years.

“I love the fact that the community supports it so much because there are a lot of art events on at the moment,” she said.

“People were looking for unusual items for their loved ones for Christmas, which was fantastic, that makes all the artists feel valued as well.

“It’s lovely to see people support the local artists for them to make money before Christmas and people buy unique gifts.”

 

Thirty artists participated in the event, which also included a cocktail party and live auction of works donated by artists, carers and patients with brain cancer.

Peace of Mind Foundation will use the funds donated to provide care for people living with the disease.

All About Art will return in 2026, with planning already underway for the last weekend in November.
