Auslan InterpretingLocal community and friends of Arts House are invited to join us for an early evening of drinks, local food, artist exhibitions, and the launch of Season 1 — and it’s completely free to attend.
As we launch our program for Season 1, 2026, you’ll have the chance to meet our team, connect with neighbours, and hear about the ideas, artists and projects shaping the year ahead. The event will be hosted by Arts House’s Head of Programming, Naomi Velaphi, who will introduce the program and its creative directions.
Light catering from a local business will be available, along with drinks from our bar to keep the evening relaxed and welcoming.
While you’re in the building, make sure to catch Rel Pham’s epic video installation When Your Number’s Up in the Supper Room.
You can also see our new window commissions by Pey Chi, and explore the playful photo installation I See You Like This by Jessica Wilson, created with children during the Queensberry Cup 2025.
We look forward to welcoming you into Arts House for a night of creativity, conversation, and community celebration.
