Pari is an artist-run space where people and communities come together to talk, think, learn and do. They believe that artists play a vital role in processing and reflecting the important issues of the time, so art and artists are always at the core of Pari’s activities. Reflecting the social, the political and the deeply personal, their program draws out ideas that are particular to their location in Western Sydney on unceded Dharug land, and that resonate well beyond the local. Pari’s programming consists of a series of group exhibitions curated by members of the team, chosen from an open call out that occurs once a year. While the team will facilitate the space, what Pari is will be defined by the people who show there, the people who come and look and listen, the conversations that happen, the things that get said and thought and reconsidered.

Parker Estate was founded on one man's vision to defy expectations. Their story is a story of Australian ambition and craftmanship. John Parker believed that with the right patch of dirt, the right climate and the right clones, he could craft Cabernet which rivalled Bordeaux. And he did. In 1985 he planted twenty hectares of vine on the 27-kilometre cigar-shaped strip of terra rossa soil that is famous for crafting some of Australia's most famous Cabernet. His inaugural release, the 1988 First Growth, caught the world's attention. The wine won the Penfold Hyland Trophy in Perth and was judged the sixth highest-rated Bordeaux-style in the 1991 International Wine Challenge in London. With just one wine, John Parker put Parker Estate and his Abbey Vineyard on the map. Today, the Parker Estate winery still stands tall and proud on the famous terra rossa soil they are so proud to celebrate with the wines they craft. It's a symbol of their ongoing commitment to John Parker's vision. Parker Estate continues to achieve recognition through medals, trophies and accolades. In 2010, First Growth entered the Langton's Classification of Australian Wine as 'Excellent'. Parker Estate remains focused on its endeavour to craft the best Cabernet for the world to enjoy.
