Bella Dinner
October 21st, 2009. Posted by luane
The MCA Bella Dinner began as an intimate event at renowned Sydney restaurant Tetsuya’s in 1998. The Bella Dinner began as a fundraising event for the MCA’s education program, the Bella Program, which was initiated by Mrs. Cynthia Jackson and the late Dr Edward Jackson in memory of their late daughter Belinda, in 1993. The Bella Program, the first of its kind in Australia, offers contemporary art education experiences at the MCA and offsite for young people with disabilities and from disadvantage backgrounds.
The MCA Bella Dinner 2009 marked the twelfth year of this very special fundraising event. This year the dinner was held on Tuesday 1st September with Neil Perry as the guest chef, Virginia Trioli (ABC) as MC, and special guest Claudia Karvan.
