We are excited to invite you and your guests to the inaugural Linden Fundraising Dinner to be hosted in the gallery amongst the works in this year’s Design Fringe exhibition. Responding to this year’s theme, We have shared bread and salt, an Ancient Greek proverb which speaks to the custom of welcoming strangers and expressing gratitude, friendship and trust through the act of eating, the three-course dinner, with wine, will be designed around share plates, celebrating communal eating, sharing stories and meeting new friends. The menu will be prepared by Murat Ovaz, owner and chef of hatted Turkish restaurant Yagiz, and will include a main course of lamb cooked on an open fire.

The evening will include a guest speaker and an introduction to Linden’s 2025 exhibition program from Director, Dr Vincent Alessi.

All funds raised will directly support Linden in developing and presenting the best of contemporary practice in the heart of St Kilda.

*The dinner is limited to 50 people.

OUR GUEST CHEF

MURAT OVAZ

Murat Ovaz is the owner and head chef of the acclaimed, hatted Turkish restaurant Yagiz in South Yarra. Originally from Zonguldak on Turkey’s Black Sea coast, Murat’s culinary journey began in a five-star hotel kitchen at the age of 16. After honing his skills in Istanbul, where he worked in renowned establishments such as Park Samdan and the iconic nightclub Reina, he moved to Australia in 2009. Following stints in Newcastle and Sydney, Murat settled in Melbourne, where he quickly became known for his fresh, modern approach to traditional Turkish cuisine. Yagiz, named after his grandfather, is where Murat brings together the flavours of his heritage with contemporary techniques, crafting dishes that celebrate the best of Turkish culinary traditions with an Australian twist.
