Photograph - Widows function, Craft exhibition 1994, 1994

Historical information

Photos taken at the 13th Annual Widows' Art and Craft Exhibition held at Legacy House. The note with the photos says: "The quality and ingenuity of the arts and crafts entered were outstanding and quite a daunting task for the judge, Mrs Janice Bridges".
This was an Annual Art and Craft Exhibition that was run by the widows club. The items could be sold at trading tables and at the table outside Legacy House during Badge Week in September to raise funds. There were craft afternoons throughout the year for widows to learn new skills and gather together at Legacy House.
These regular meetings, fetes and workshops provided important opportunities for widows to meet, socialise and be active.

Significance

A record of the type of activities Legacy provided as a social outlet for widows.
