Art After Hours
Wednesday night's extended opening hours means you can see a film, grab a bite to eat and explore the galleries after dark.
Overview
The Art Gallery of NSW has been keeping its doors open late on Wednesdays for years now. Its monthly Art After Hours program flexed with the times in 2020, running online only, and now Sydneysiders are returning to their workspaces in the city Art After Hours is slowly returning to its regular program in 2021.
On February 24 and March 3, you can head to the Gallery after work to explore the current exhibitions Pat Larter and Margel Hinder, see a free film and grab a bite to eat in the cafe — all free of charge and until doors close at 9pm.
In the past, the Gallery has hosted comedy shows, drag performances, insightful talks and specialist tours in its late-night program. Right now, under physical distancing and extra hygiene measures, the program is more DIY. You're in charge of how you spend your time — whether you join a one-hour mystery tour with one of the Gallery's guides at 7.15pm or book into see one of the free film screenings as part of the Japanese Film Festival Classics program.
You don't need to register in advance to head to the Gallery after hours, but if you're keen to see a film it's best to snap up your ticket in advance.
