SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT | A huge thank you to our community. Together, you’ve raised an incredible $5,702 for PARKER Contemporary during AusArt Day 2026 through our ACF portal and direct donations to the gallery. With matched funding from Creative Australia, this takes us beyond our $10,000 goal and helps us upgrade the walls that hold our artists’ work, along with the behind the scenes elements that support the gallery. To everyone who donated, shared the fundraiser, followed along or sent a message of support, thank you. Every contribution and show of encouragement has helped make this possible. I’m so grateful to have you as part of the PARKER Contemporary community. Our ACF donation portal is open until the end of the month. If you’d still like to contribute, you’re very welcome to do so - it's not too late! Every donation will help us make these improvements for the gallery and the artists who show here. Donate via the link in our bio. I look forward to sharing the improvements as they unfold in the weeks and months ahead. Your support means more than you know.

With just a few hours left in AusArt Day, I wanted to share some of the messages that have come in today. Reading them has been a reminder of what this gallery means to the people around it. We’re raising funds to upgrade the walls that hold our artists’ work, so PARKER Contemporary can keep making room for ambitious work and the conversations it brings. If you’ve been thinking about donating, there’s still time. Every donation will be matched thanks to Creative Australia. Link in bio.

PARKER Contemporary is all about the people. At our Edition Two Collectors Evening, we asked members of our community to share why the gallery matters to them. Their words remind me what we’re building together: a place for artists, ideas and people to come together. That’s why this AusArt Day, we’re raising funds to upgrade the walls that hold our artists’ work. Stronger walls will help us safely show more ambitious work and keep creating space for artists and audiences to meet. Thank you to everyone who has supported PARKER Contemporary and this fundraiser. Every donation is matched thanks to Creative Australia. I hope you’ll take a moment to hear these voices and support the project.

A few moments from our Collectors evening, and a $3,000 milestone worth celebrating! PARKER Contemporary is all about the people: the artists who trust us with their work, the collectors and visitors who spend time with it, and everyone who supports the gallery. Thank you to all of you who have supported the AusArt Day fundraiser so far. We’ve just crossed the $3,000 mark, and I’m so grateful. With every donation, I think about what it can help cover in practical terms, from materials to reline the walls to improvements that will make the gallery work better for the artists who show here. We’re getting there, one contribution at a time. There’s still time today. Could we raise another $1,000 or even $2,000 together? Every donation, large or small, makes a difference. Creative Australia will match donations, doubling their impact. Donate through the link to the Australian Cultural Fund in our bio. Thank you for being part of this. It means so much that you are.
