The Aboriginal Benefits Foundation’s inaugural charity art auction and fundraising dinner was held at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art in September 2008. All income has been allocated to respond to a request from the Aboriginal community of Yirrkala in Arnhem Land for a Healing Centre that will play a vital role in addressing the emotional and spiritual well-being of the community.

The Foundation is aiming to raise $1 million towards building the Healing Centre for the Yirrkala community to expand the care needed for Yolngu families in distress. The “Utopia Revisited” exhibition was the first in a series of fundraising activities for this project.
