Inside the DRAFT. 2026 Calendar Launch Party

Words by Clare Neal / Images by Davzon

Last Friday night, Draft. gathered together its closest friends and collaborators (old and new) to celebrate the year that has been and the incredible community we have built together. The event also marked the launch of our 2026 Draft. Calendar: a project conceived and realised through the passion and teamwork of diverse and skilled creatives.

This is one of the things that makes Draft. so special: our belief that open minds, curiosity and trust in the face of the unfamiliar will breathe life into valuable new lessons and art. We celebrate, and draw power from, the collective uniqueness of the individuals who make us whole.

In light of the succeeding events which have unfolded in Sydney this week, these are the values and reminders we hold close to our hearts. We hope that through creative ventures and events like ours, Australians from all backgrounds might remember that our differences are what make us more than the sum of our parts.

Happy, safe, loving holidays from Draft. we can’t wait to collaborate in 2026 <3

Thank you to last week’s event sponsors, Ester Spirits and Heaps Normal!
