2026 Event Wrap-Up
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Art with Heart on 18 and 19
th September 2026. Our first event, the Art Auction and Cocktail Party, featured 43 live and silent auction items, along with wonderful raffle prizes. We’re delighted to share that we raised over $5,000 to support mental health research and community wellbeing initiatives, including
Australian Rotary Health.
Six artworks are still available for you to ‘Make an Offer’! View them in our online art
catalogue:
- Abstract Collection: #20 and #37
- Animal Collection: #19
- Humanity Collection: #11
- Mediterranean Collection: #31 and #32
It was a privilege to hear from our guest speaker,
Sarah Ulloa, who, with support from Australian Rotary Health, is building a future grounded in resilience, advocacy and care.
Day 2 was our free Community Art Day, and we were thrilled to welcome so many local families. A big thank you to Gary and Mark from Hope Island Rotary Club, who brought their BBQ trailer and cooked delicious sausages donated by The
British Sausage Company.
