Hello lovers! Need ideas for a first date, a romance rekindle or fun with friends? Come and hang out with us as we keep our doors open till 8:00pm on a few Fridays from March to July. Laugh, cry and swoon with our Australian Love Stories exhibition and enjoy intimate and surprising events with musicians, artists and poets. Consider us your chaperone! (or enabler, whatever works.)
For our third late night event we’re putting the pedal to the metal. Join comedian Chris Ryan as she hosts a night of ‘speed dating’ with a twist! Connecting with portraits and people, you’ll get to chat rapid-fire for five minutes before moving on to the next portrait and new bestie! But not before our host busts out her dry observations on relationships, personalities and life from 6:00pm.
Chris Ryan is one of the most exciting new voices on the Australian comedy scene, winning Best Newcomer at the Sydney Comedy Festival in 2019. Her laconic take on everything from romance to passive aggressive co-workers has earned her spots in Galas at the Sydney and Canberra Comedy Festivals, Floriade Nightfest and TEDx Canberra.
