A fundraiser event has been announced to help support an upcoming production about Brett Whiteley’s life and art.

Two of Australia’s leading theatre companies, Legs On The Wall and Theatre Of Image, have announced a new project on which they’ll collaborate, bringing the life of artist Brett Whiteley to the stage in a new Kim Carpenter-directed production called Brett And Wendy – A Love Story Bound By Art.

To accompany this is the announcement of a one-off fundraising event, wherein a fully endorsing Wendy Whiteley will appear alongside cocktails, canapés, and a silent auction.

The artworks of 20 artists including Brett Whiteley, Arthur Boyd and Del Kathryn Barton have been donated for the auction, with luxury accommodation packages, tickets to Belvoir St Theatre, signed art books, and more available to help raise funds for the stage production.

The fundraiser is held Wednesday May 11 in The Treasury Room at the Intercontinental Sydney, with tickets at $90. The stage production itself is still in development, with more details to be announced soon.

Download the form here and RSVP by Wednesday May 4 for the event on Wednesday May 11 at the Intercontinental.
