The works of art will be launched at an Opening Exhibition to be held at the Westpac Centre on Wednesday 21 August.
Players the calibre of Lou Richards, Bob Rose, Nathan Buckley, Darren Millane, the Coventry brothers and Jock McHale are among those featured.
A number of the works of art will be put up for general auction at the Exhibition Launch, and it is intended that those not put up for general auction will be offered on a silent auction basis at the launch and, subject to meeting the reserve prices, will be sold on the night.
