The function will be a cocktail style event with artworks on sale from the Boom Gate Gallery and Walama participants and graduates, with proceeds from the event going to the Indigenous Barristers’ Trust Mum Shirl Fund. The fund supports First Nations barristers/prospective barristers and law students experiencing financial hardship.
The event includes a raffle draw for a variety of donated prizes including:

The Boom Gate Gallery is based at Long Bay Correctional Complex and sells artworks by NSW inmates to both local and international visitors.
Walama participants and graduates undertake a culturally grounded, therapeutic sentencing procedure in the NSW District Court. “Walama” means “come back” or “return” in the Yuin language, symbolising a return to identity, community, culture, and a crime-free life.
