Rugby Inspired Art
Friday 2 January, The Press Room Coffee.

Touchlines of Fortitude is an inspiring art exhibition honouring the strength, skill, and determination of women in rugby — a perfect tribute to the Red Roses and the incredible athletes lighting up the Women's Rugby World Cup.
Featuring powerful, movement-filled works by local artist Agnieszka Lokaj, the exhibition captures the grit, grace, and physicality that define the women's game. Her paintings, inspired by Red Roses icons Megan Jones, Ellie Kildunne, Emily Scarratt, and Abby Dow, celebrate the fierce energy and unity that make women's rugby so unforgettable.
The exhibition also showcases selected works by Tahira Mandarino and Gina DeCagna, each exploring women's stories of resilience and empowerment through their own distinct artistic lens. Together, their works create a compelling, emotional, and thought-provoking experience — one that invites you to reflect on your own connection to the game and the stories behind it.
