That’s a wrap on the Warrnibald Portrait & Art Event! 🎨

A huge thank you to everyone who visited, volunteered, entered, performed, or supported this year’s Hospice Warrnibald Portrait & Art Event - what an incredible week of creativity, connection and community spirit!

Thanks to your support, the event was a great success and we’re so proud of what’s been achieved together in support of the Warrnambool and District Community Hospice.

While the main event has wrapped up at the Warrnambool Racing Club, the Warrnibald Portrait Prize exhibition continues at The F Project, 224 Timor Street, Warrnambool from Wednesday 21 May through to Sunday 8 June. Make sure to drop in and experience the works in a new space!

And don’t forget - we’re going out in style this weekend with the Hospice Benefit Dinner & Auction, the grand finale and major fundraising event. We're looking forward to sharing with you what is sure to be a truly special night of food, art, live music and giving back.
