Come along to this free, social event at Ashburton Art Gallery & Museum where you can connect with new people, art, culture, music and nature. This event is suitable for adults – ideal for those who haven’t yet ventured inside the Art Gallery, as well as regular gallery visitors, all are welcome!

Meet others over drinks and nibbles and connect with someone new through sharing 1-1 about a special photo you’ve brought along (on your phone or perhaps a hard copy). Your photo might be of a place, a person, a memory – anything that is special to you, that you’re happy to share.

After some time mingling you will be given an introductory tour of the current exhibitions and then you’ll have a chance to enjoy them at your own pace, chat some more or head home as you need. There’s a photography exhibition celebrating 100 years of Forest and Bird, a stunning exhibition of carved Māori traditional instruments, contemporary artworks & music, and an exhibition featuring a collaborative contemporary jewelry project called Exquisite Corpse. So something for everyone!

Limited places available so get your free tickets to this relaxed & friendly event before it sells out. Registrations are essential for catering purposes. Please note; drinks and nibbles will be provided free of charge by the organisers – Ashburton Art Gallery & Museum and Keep Learning Mid Canterbury, but a donation/ koha is welcome toward catering costs.

The event will take place upstairs in the Learning Centre. The complex is wheelchair friendly and two wheelchairs are also available.
