Make a Connection
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
Presentations
Feeling bold? Want to show off a friend or yourself? Promote yourself or your friends in a positive light with a 2-3 minute slideshow highlighting best features!
Don’t have someone to present for you? Don’t worry—submit a slideshow and we’ll present it for you.
- You must sign up in advance to reserve a spot as space is limited. Fill out our online form by Wednesday, August 6, at 5:00 pm.
- Keep it fun, friendly, and positive.
- Feel free to include images, but make sure that they are appropriate (we have nudes in the museum – we don’t need to see yours).
- Keep it short and sweet—see an example presentation!
