Overview
Nocturnal creatures and art lovers, get on down to the National Art School this Thursday night for their second free after-dark shindig — and this time they're heading back to the Beat Generation.
From 6pm, for three hours, you'll be immersed in '50s and '60s-style Beatnik culture. Channel a strong love for jazz bars, coffee and post-war American art, music and literature into a humdinger of an after-hours event. Berets and turtlenecks strongly encouraged.
Enjoy a cheeky vino from Cake Wines, watching Chicago's spoken-word star Miles Merrill perform a spoken-word poetry piece inspired by legendary beat poets Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Find your inner Jackson Pollock with a free action painting workshop.
Wander current exhibition Ann Thomson & Contemporaries (open till 9pm) and see a Floor Talk by curator Judith Blackall and the artist herself. Then dance your Beatnik butt off to an acoustic set of '60s inspired tunes from Frances Castley.
