Friday Nights at the NGV are back. Coinciding with the last few weeks of the current Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition, Masterpieces from the Hermitage: The Legacy of Catherine the Great, the gallery is inviting visitors to enjoy a jam-packed late-night program complete with food, booze, talks and live performances.
The six-week program begins Friday, October 2, with a night headlined by contemporary jazz group The Paul Grabowsky Trio. Other musical guests on the program include Glenn Richards, Gareth Liddiard, Laura Jean, Underground Lovers and Jaako Eino Kalevi, as well as DJ sets from Darcy Baylis, Banoffee, Airwolf and Edd Fisher.
In addition to the music lineup, other Friday night activities include drawing classes and short academic talks. Food-wise, the gallery kitchen will be serving casual dining fare and share plates in the Great Hall. All in all, top notch Friday adventuring in the gallery.
