Overview

Most Melburnians have walked past the Nicholas Building dozens if not hundreds of times. The 90-year-old edifice is a Swanston Street institution, home to artists, makers, designers and local businesses from all around town. For one night only, you can take in everything it has to offer, from its art deco arcade on up.

From 5–9pm on Thursday, June 20, A Night at the Nicholas invites punters to explore the historic building (with a drink in hand) and get to know its eclectic tenants. Stop by the band room for three house of uninterrupted improv, join a sing-along (and get some free singing tips) at a voice training company, try out an exciting new VR system and explore a large-scale audiovisual installation.

There will also be lots of creative work from local jewellers, milliners, artists, fashion designers and architects on display.

Entry will be by gold coin donation, with all proceeds going to the Nicholas Building Association. You'll also be able to purchase cocktails on the night.

A Night at the Nicholas will run from 5–9pm.
