ARTS Mansfield's fundraising “Dinner with Brian”, at the Delatite Hotel, was an outstanding success with much laughter and entertainment.

Audience participation was a feature of the evening, with trivia bonus points key to deciding the winning table.

Singing, dancing, and personal revelations were in high demand from RocKwiz trivia star Brian Nankervis.

Emma McPherson, Arts Mansfield President, said it was a laughter-filled smorgasbord of fun.

“People came prepared to step out of their comfort zone, and they did," she said.

"We all got to know a little more about each other, and Arts Mansfield raised valuable funds to support creativity in the Mansfield Shire."

Mrs McPherson added that community support of the exhibition, the fabulous raffle, and this event has assisted Arts Mansfield to secure the show for 2026 and 2027.

“Feature ‘Dinner with...’ events will be part of the celebrations and are being planned already," she said.

The raffle, which includes a $250 lunch at Delatite Winery and two nights’ accommodation at Riverdowns on the Howqua, has limited tickets available online and at the gallery, and will be drawn following the close of the Bald Archys.

The exhibition continues at 101 High Street until Sunday, June 1, and is open Thursday to Sunday from 10am.
