ART4refugees 2011

Dear Artist

SCARF invites you to support ART4refugees 2011

Thanks to our generous supporters, last year’s ART4refugees was a huge success, raising over $16,000 to support the work of SCARF (Strategic Community Assistance to Refugee Families).

ALL proceeds from the sale of works donated to ART4refugees directly funds programs run by SCARF, an independent not-for-profit organisation that works with families granted humanitarian visas to navigate their way through all aspects of Australian life.

This year, ART4refugees is being held at The Illawarra Grammar School (TIGS) from Friday 30th September to Sunday 2nd October 2011. 

We would be delighted if you could donate an artwork to this very worthwhile cause.   

As Sharyn Mackenzie, SCARF’s Program Coordinator said: "The money raised at last year's ART4refugees has enabled us to provide transport for our students to and from Homework Help sessions twice a week.  It has also has given us the ability to respond to diverse requests from the community, including increasing adult education classes and providing opportunities for young people through trips to the theatre and sporting events.  Thanks to our supporters, ART4refugees has become the major fundraising event for SCARF”.
