Sarah Craig said that the Hellenic Museum Ladies’ Society was thrilled to host this event again this year highlighting “I am deeply passionate about Hellenic history and culture, and our community of passionate women has already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Museum. We look forward to welcoming new members into our HMLS Patrons program.”
“As a female-led team, the Hellenic Museum celebrates the vital role of women in the arts, and through the HMLS, we provide a platform for like-minded individuals to connect over art, business, and cultural events.”
“We believe that arts, culture, and history education can be life-changing. Through our programs, we aim to make a lasting impact on students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, by addressing inequality in their access to arts experiences.”
The event also featured an exclusive talk by Thaleia Karafyllidou, Former Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Greece, who came to Australia exclusively for the event. Thaleia spoke about the worlds of Greek art, fashion, and her fascinating career, followed by a Q&A session with guests.

The Hellenic Museum Ladies’ Society thanked all who attended, helping to raise vital funds for the Museum’s Education Mission while celebrating the inspiring women who continue to shape our world.
The Hellenic Museum Ladies’ Society was founded in 2018 as a fundraising vehicle for the Museum, bringing together culturally engaged women who are committed to raising funds for the Museum to preserve Greek art, history, and culture for future generations. As a public, not-for-profit cultural institution, this support is critical for the future of Australia’s only Hellenic Museum.
