Advance Global Australians is excited to invite you to a special evening celebrating art, community, and connection in Sydney.

Join us on Thursday, 24 July, at the elegant Cassandra Bird Gallery for an intimate cocktail event featuring a private viewing of Dawn Chorus — the latest captivating work by acclaimed Australian artist Gene A’Hern, winner of the 2025 Sir John Sulman Prize.

This unique gathering offers a chance to explore Gene’s powerful themes of place, memory, and renewal, alongside insightful conversations with gallerists Cassandra Bird and Fabian Jentsch. It’s a celebration of Australian creativity and talent at its finest.

As we connect in this inspiring space where art meets ideas, enjoy bespoke natural wines generously sponsored by Aristotelis Ke Anthoula. Crafted on the far south coast of NSW and inspired by Mediterranean tradition, these wines perfectly complement an evening dedicated to fostering community and collaboration.

The event highlights the spirit of mateship—the uniquely Australian value that continues to unite us through creativity, culture, and shared experience.

We’re proud to bring together a vibrant community of Australians in Sydney to celebrate our talent, strengthen connections, and champion the stories that shape our global mateship.

Spaces are limited. Please see the invitation and registration form below.
