The Gallery is supported by the Friends of the Gallery, an active community organisation that's the major sponsor of the JADA.
Our Gallery is your gallery, and our Friends are your friends
Joining the Friends (FoGG) is a great way to meet new people, participate in the vibrant arts scene of the Clarence Valley and support the Grafton Regional Gallery. The Friends has a long standing history of supporting visual arts in our community. From the foundation of the Jacaranda Art Society, the Friends of Grafton Regional Gallery formed in 1992. This active community group has gone from strength to strength since then and is the major sponsor of the nationally recognised Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award (JADA). Each year the Friends present an exciting program of events to fundraise for the JADA and support the Gallery.
Becoming a Friend enables you to enjoy a range of benefits and is a great way to meet new people, participate in the vibrant arts scene of the Clarence Valley and support the Gallery.
