The Ruby Hunter Foundation Inc was established to honour the late Auntie Ruby Hunter.
Auntie Ruby was an international singer, songwriter who performed with her lifetime talented partner, Archie Roach. They toured and performed to sell-out crowds worldwide, and made life time friendships wherever they went. Auntie Ruby was also an inspiration to her all people.
She was an advocate against domestic violence, and a voice for the stolen generation. She and Archie raised over 30 Aboriginal foster children, at their own expense, and taught them to take pride in their heritage, and achieve a successful life.
Ruby Hunter's Dream was to provide opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and grass roots people in the way of studys, art, culture, music, dance, film making, and theatre, in the hope of securing a successful career in the entertainment industry.
Join us to celebrate and give life to Ruby's dream with a night of live music and community.
8pm - 2am
