2018 JADA: Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award

Now in its 30th year the Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award celebrates excellence in contemporary drawing.

The Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award (JADA) is Grafton Gallery’s flagship biennial art prize featuring drawing in all its splendour from unbelievable hyper-realism to the expressive and the abstract, evoking the poetic and emotional response to the human condition and our environment.

Many of the works selected question and challenge the notion of traditional drawing; while others provide a contemporary perspective and reinvigorate those traditions.

It's a sad time in Australia, the bush fires that have ravaged our country are out of control and the devastation and loss is unimaginable. We feel uneasy about celebrating Australia Day at the club considering the circumstances. So for this reason, we think it is best if we get local charities and brigades involved and use our events over Australia Day weekend as a way to raise funds and support our fellow neighbours around our country, the brave fire fighters and all affected.

The Hanwood Rural Fire Brigade will be at the Leagues Club on both Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th from 12-2pm. They will be out the front of the Southside venue with donation buckets as well as having their trucks on display for your viewing. Any donation no matter how big or small will help. We will also have donation buckets inside the club if you want to spare any change.

We will also be holding a charity sausage sizzle on Sunday 26th of January on the Alpen Terrace from 2pm. All money raised will go directly to the NSW Rural Fire Service.

Entertainment as follows, all on the Alpen Terrace over the weekend:

Friday 24th : Lolohea Brothers from 8.30pm-close

Saturday 25th : Trouserpants 8.30pm-close

Sunday 26th: DJ Vize Verza 2.30pm-6.30pm
