MCA Social

Overview

Combining modern art, live performance and philanthropic fundraising, the MCA Social has been likened to 'a killer New York museum party without the fancypants elements'. Yes, the dress code is 'Cocktail Glamour', but don't let that fool you. We have been assured that the evening will transform the contemplative art space into a loud and young party house.

Overlooking one of the world's most ridiculous rooftop views, party-goers will be privy to tunes from Melbourne synth-pop-sensations Client Liaison, Alaska Projects' orchestral-concoction Musical Alaska and DJ Annie Conley. The night will also feature a site-specific installation by local sculptor/inventor/cucumber-wearer Tully Arnot. It will be a brilliant opportunity for modern-art-loving young professionals to connect, make pithy comments and enjoy the open bar. Oh yes, there's an open bar.

Tickets are a little exy, but rest assured in the knowledge that all profits from the social will support Primavera, the MCA's annual exhibition for creatives under 35. In the past, Primavera has helped launched the careers of Australian artists David Griggs, Nell and The Kingpins. In a city where young artists struggle to break through (and break even), initiatives like Primavera are an absolute godsend for our local creative culture. In fact, attendees of the MCA Social will not only gain access to the live music, performance art and open bar but receive an exclusive sneak preview of Primavera 2013.

Tickets are on sale now at the MCA website.
