We invite you to spark something new — whether it’s a friendship, a flirtation, or just a fun night out. Join us for Make a Connection, an evening that brings people together to discover unexpected common ground. Come ready to mix, mingle, and maybe meet someone who brings a little extra color to your canvas.
What to Expect
-Cash bar and complimentary light fare beginning at 6:00 pm
-Quickfire presentations from 6:30–7:15 pm, where participants (or their loyal friends) take the mic for a 2–3 minute slideshow-style spotlight celebrating their best qualities (attendees can watch without participating)
-Post-presentation mingling throughout the museum’s galleries, where the connections continue
