This event will be a fundraising event for J-Studios Artist Community Inc. and an opportunity for the broader community of North Fitzroy and surrounds to come into J-Studios and experience this vibrant artistic community. Money earned from this event will go towards new computers for our office, a new telecommunications system for our community, curtains for the drama theatre and resources for community art classes in our new community art space.
