Sunday 23rd June 2024
The Friends Annual Winter Solstice Soup Day is a much-beloved fundraiser for the Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award (JADA).
By allowing this award to be the major focus of the gallery’s acquisition policy, the collection has attractively developed through the tastes, opinions, and approaches of the various judges into a collection that is compelling, thought-provoking, innovative, exuberant, and diverse.
Thank you to all the incredible local producers, restaurants, hospitality venues and creatives who joined us for our beloved annual fundraising event.
Grafton District Services Club
All our Chefs, restaurateurs, cooks and hospitality staff are here today as a generous donation of their time, produce and skills. The Clarence Valley has a thriving food culture with over 190+ eateries; ranging from award-winning, fine-dining, community volunteer kitchens, private catering, bistros, taverns, restaurants, pubs, takeaways, pop-ups, travelling carts, market stalls, cafes… and so many more!
You can continue to show your support to these fantastic local businesses long after this Friends event ~ by following their websites and social media pages, tagging their soups and raffle prizes if you are sharing on your social media, and of course, by being a local & ongoing patron this winter! When you support small and local businesses, you can contribute to the health and happiness of your community and Friends.
The Friends of Grafton Gallery are proud to support and directly impact local tourism, hospitality, and business and produce as much economy as we can. We encourage all our friends and guests to do so too in the changing seasons for the year ahead.
