A Night of Creativity and Connection

Artbar Romance transforms the MCA into a lively hub for creative expression. Set against the backdrop of stunning harbour views and contemporary art, this event invites guests to explore a themed evening filled with interactive experiences, performances, and, of course, the chance to mingle with fellow art lovers. The atmosphere is electric, encouraging participants to let their guard down and engage in conversations about art, life, and love.

A Night of Romance will focus on the theme of love, featuring installations and performances that capture the essence of romantic relationships in their myriad forms. Guests will be treated to live music that sets the mood, along with art-making stations where they can create their own masterpieces inspired by love. The event encourages attendees to not just observe art but to participate in it, fostering a deeper connection to the creative process.

This iteration of Artbar Romance is brought to life by the visionary curators Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales, the dynamic duo behind Romance Was Born. For over two decades, they have been reimagining fashion in Australia, storytelling through fabric and form. Known for their ability to transform seemingly random inspirations into immersive experiences, Plunkett and Sales are creating a thematic evening that captures the essence of romantic relationships in all their complexities.

An Evening of Immersive Experiences

One of the standout features of Artbar Romance is its immersive nature. Attendees are encouraged to explore the galleries, engaging with the artwork in a relaxed, informal setting. This fosters a sense of intimacy, as guests can discuss their interpretations of the art, share stories of love and relationships, and connect over shared interests.

This year’s Artbar Romance features a captivating lineup of entertainment. Music is a key element, with tunes selected by DJ Aunty Jonny creating a vibrant soundtrack for the evening. Guests enjoy love song dedications performed by the Chakita duo, adding a personal touch that resonates with attendees. Montgomery’s dreamy synth-pop vocals create an enchanting atmosphere, while sculptor Troy Emery’s kaleidoscopic textile installations transform the space into a visual feast. The evening also includes performances by poet Meagan Pelham and drag chameleon Hollywould Star, whose dynamic presence brings an additional layer of excitement to the event.

Love in All Its Forms

Artbar Romance doesn’t shy away from exploring the complexities of love. Through thought-provoking installations and performances, the event delves into various aspects of romantic relationships, including joy, heartbreak, and everything in between. This depth adds a layer of authenticity to the experience, encouraging guests to reflect on their relationships while appreciating the art around them.

For many attendees, Artbar Romance is more than just an event; it’s an opportunity for personal reflection and connection. The open discussions and creative activities invite participants to share their own stories and experiences, creating a sense of community that is both supportive and celebratory.
