Due to a council fire order Firstdraft will be rebuilding, rewiring and providing disabled access to their 3 galleries and 2 studios.
And for that they need money they don’t have...
That’s where you come in. Firstdraft is holding an emergency fundraiser auction at the gallery on Thursday 3 September 2009 to raise $20,000 for the cause. Former Firstdraft directors and artists, as well as fellow galleries, are rushing to donate artworks for auction in support of one of Sydney’s most important venues for emerging and experimental art.
The auction will be hosted by Elizabeth Ann Macgregor,
Director, Museum of Contemporary Art.

Imagine if Firstdraft were to close... future biennale stars, gallery curators and the next generation of up-and-coming artists may not get the start they need. They need your support.
Go along and snap up some killer bargains. Tell your friends. Get involved! There will be works on auction to fit all kinds of budgets and lucky door prizes!!
