Monet's Birthday Party

Celebrate Claude Monet’s birthday with a special after-hours evening at the Art Gallery of South Australia, with exclusive access to Monet to Matisse: Defying Tradition on its final weekend.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the exhibition after hours in a more intimate setting, with access to AGSA curators, opportunities for private tours, live music, and an extensive hospitality offering designed for the evening. Spend time with the works, ask questions, hear more about the exhibition, and enjoy the Gallery at a different pace once the doors close to the general public.

Inspired by Monet’s colour, light and atmosphere, the night brings together art, conversation, music, food and drinks for a relaxed but special evening celebrating one of the most influential artists of the modern era.

Your ticket includes:

• Exclusive after-hours entry to Monet to Matisse: Defying Tradition
• Opportunities for private tours of the exhibition
• Live performances by Soylent Green
• Drinks throughout the evening
• An extensive canapé menu
• After-hours access to the Gallery

The evening’s food and drink offering is designed to be part of the experience, with canapés served throughout the night alongside a generous selection of wines, beer, cider and non-alcoholic options. A selection of themed cocktails will also be served throughout the evening.

On the Menu

Enjoy a mix of canapés including citrus-cured salmon with herbed crème fraîche and cucumber, BBQ lamb with olive pesto and salsa verde, crocodile dumplings with anise myrtle and gochujang, goat’s cheese cappelletti with thyme and beurre noisette, roast pumpkin and onion jam tarts, and lemongrass, miso and ginger arancini.

A gourmet selection includes Peruvian kingfish ceviche and roast pork belly with chilli caramel and pineapple salsa, followed by chocolate-dipped strawberries and waterlily cupcakes to finish.
