Voices of Art 2

Voices of Art is the annual art-related event for Voiceless, the animal protection think tank established in 2004 by Brian Sherman AM and Ondine Sherman.

The evening will commence with a welcome address by Dr Gene Sherman AM, director of the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (SCAF) and Voiceless Council chair, who will serve as MC.

Acclaimed designer, Akira Isogawa, will formally open the event and introduce long-time supporter and Voiceless friend, Clover Moore MP, Lord Mayor of Sydney, who will draw the prizes.

Entertainment for the evening will be provided by Voiceless Council member Holly Throsby and The Hello Tigers. The twice ARIA nominated singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist recently released her acclaimed new album, Team, which was featured as album of the week on Radio National. Holly and The Hello Tigers will entertain us in the intimate surrounds of the SCAF zen garden.

Canapés and refreshments will be served throughout the evening.

Prizes will be drawn at the event from 7pm.
