Fewer entries than normal have prompted Harbour Hospice to rethink the format and timing for its annual Catwalk Arts fundraiser.
The event was due to be held on August 26, but the decision has been made to cancel this year’s show and hold it biennially from now on. It’s understood that only about 20 entries were received, when normally there would be upwards of 30.
Fundraising manager Amber West says a new date and theme for next year will be announced soon.
“We’ve done this to ensure that we can continue to deliver the high calibre event our community has come to expect, and we’re really excited about some of the ideas we have to refresh the show, making it bigger and better than ever,” she says.
“Catwalk Arts usually raises around $30,000 for Harbour Hospice and we’re incredibly grateful to the community, sponsors and all of those involved in putting the show together, for the fantastic and ongoing support they have shown over the years.”
West says all entrants have been advised and refunds to ticket holders are currently being arranged.
“We look forward to welcoming audiences and designers back to Catwalk Arts in 2024.”
