Volunteer Morning Tea with Eva de Jong - Duldig

About
Please join us for morning tea to celebrate all our volunteers during National Volunteer Week (NVW) 2025.Our guest speaker at this event is the extraordinary Eva de Jong - Duldig. Eva is the founder of the Duldig Studio, museum + sculpture garden, a Melbourne public museum and art gallery which preserves the Duldig family heritage.
Her memoir DRIFTWOOD – escape and survival through art (ASP 2017) tells the Duldig family story in the context of the times in Europe and Australia. It was adapted and staged as a musical in 2023, which many of our volunteers attended.
A leading Australian tennis player Eva was a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon (1961-63). Following her marriage to Henri de Jong she became National Champion of the Netherlands and played Federation Cup. Henri's survival story was featured in the original 1992 Courage to Care exhibition. Eva continues ‘inspiring creative journeys’ through her ongoing patronage of the Duldig Studio and her community involvement.
