Upcoming Art Auction

We are proud to share a very special community initiative that blends creativity with impact.

The Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf has partnered with artists Mel Booth, Bridget Stehli Curnow, and renowned Australian designer Lee Mathews to produce a collaborative textile artwork through a community appliqué workshop.

This beautiful piece – the result of shared stories, hands-on collaboration, and artistic expression – is now being auctioned to raise funds for the Women’s Housing Company. Proceeds will directly support our work providing secure housing and vital services for women and children facing domestic and family violence.

Every stitch tells a story of resilience and community.
Every bid helps continue our mission.

You can view and bid on the artwork here: Auction item

This initiative was made possible through our valued and ongoing partnership with Woollahra Municipal Council, and we are deeply grateful for their support.

We encourage you to share this initiative with your networks and help us amplify the voices of the artists, participants, and the women we support every day. Thank you for standing with us.
