An Evening Under the Stars

Beneath Melbourne’s night sky, a celebration of hope, art, and generosity awaits.

Starry Night is an exclusive black-tie gala presented by the JW Foundation, held at the iconic National Gallery of Victoria. Inspired by the celestial beauty of Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, the evening will unite Australia’s philanthropic leaders, industry tastemakers, and change-makers in support of ToyBox Australia.

Guests will be welcomed with a grand cocktail reception featuring immersive art installations, live performances, and curated brand activations. As the evening unfolds, a celestial-inspired dinner will be served in the NGV’s Great Hall—an unforgettable setting for world-class cuisine and fine champagne.

This is more than a gala. It’s a night designed to enchant and inspire—with every moment crafted to create lasting impact.
