Saturday Oct 1st
7.30 - 10.30pm
Tones Cafe: 4 Acacia St, Byron Industrial Estate

Taking place as part of the inaugural Art Byron Gathering, this unique Art Series Dinner will see Dr Clare Milledge’s work Little Shrike-Thrush Calling in the Gully: in Praise of Shadows and Andrew Rewald’s Ethnobotanical series installed in a collaborative, intertwined display throughout the Braer space.    

A highlight of the evening will be a conversation facilitated by Lismore Regional Gallery Director, Ashleigh Ralph with the artists who will discuss their practice and how it is informed by the environment.

Dr Clare Milledge is an artist and academic whose work re-examines contemporary environments with ecology through art. Andrew Rewald’s practice is informed by food and cookery - as artistic medium and subject. Both artists have presented in recent years in the Sydney Biennale.

Art Series dinner guests will enjoy an outdoor dinner setting that will include a grazing table of local, sustainable, foraged and indigenous ingredients, brought together by Tones’ owner and local chef, Lukemarn.

Chef Lukemarn has carefully selected and foraged ingredients for a menu that celebrates all things local and will also feature some of Andrew Rewald’s edible products made of indigenous species.

On arrival, guests will also receive a Brookie’s Gin cocktail on arrival featuring native botanicals. donner will be matched with natural wines by Minimum Wines.

Tones Cafe and Braer Studio are located at 4 Acacia Street Byron Bay. Please consider bringing warm clothing as the seating will be outdoors. Should bad weather become a factor the dinner will be moved to the Yeah, Nice Gallery space nearby.
