Art&Eats Community Event Coming March 27

Art&Eats Community Event

NOTE: the event has been postponed now till Thurs 27 March.

It’s back! One of 2024’s most successful local family events will return on March 27, and it’s going to be bigger and better. 

Art&Eats, a collaboration between Ruby Red Jewellery, The Gap Creative and St Marks’ Anglican Church celebrates everything that is wonderful about our community.

There will be amazing local music performances and a selection of European cuisine on offer from three food trucks. A selection of drinks will be available to purchase, there’ll be great raffle prizes, and The Gap Creative’s uber-talented members will be showcasing their latest work across the two venues. This will include the world premiere of The Quest, an audio-visual journey into what makes us who we are, created by Ann Edwards and Colin Bushell.  

This year, all proceeds will go to Trek2Health, a Gap-based not-for-profit organisation, that is leading the charge in improving the mental health and well-being of frontline workers and veteran communities. Trek2Health’s partner, Aussie Eco Surfboards will also be on site, and Trek 2 Health’s CEO Bruce Barker, will be on site to demonstrate how eco-surfboards are made.  

The event kicks off at 5pm at the corners of Kullaroo and Romea Streets. It’s both indoors and outside with plenty of cover, so whatever the weather, it’ll be full steam ahead.  

The support of the community means everything to events like these, but they also could not happen without a local commitment from others, including Councillor Steve Toomey; Jonty Bush MP; Revd. Ann Edwards from St Marks’; Kerry from The Little Art Room; our curator, Natarscha Schneider; Kathleen and Steven @ Loyle; and Lynsay from Lynsay Allen Design.
