Step into the after-hours celebration with PARTY HARD – After the Party.

Join an in-conversation with exhibition collaborator and world-renowned photographer Gerard O’Connor, Richard Nylon, Gwendolynne and Senior Curator Elizabeth Anya-Petrivna as they share insights, highlights and a shared passion for art, fashion and self-expression. The evening includes exclusive after-hours access to the exhibition, along with the curated retail space featuring gifts and design pieces drawn from the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) collection.

PARTY HARD – After the Party is a bold new exhibition exploring the traces of celebration across time — from Edwardian gatherings to Melbourne’s queer club history. It reminds us that joy is political, dressing up can be defiance, and every after-party carries stories worth sharing.

• Doors open 5.30pm

• ‘In-conversation’ Talk: 6.00–6.45pm

• Cash bar available for purchase throughout the night

PARTY HARD – After the Party runs from 6 February to 28 March, open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 10.00am – 4.00pm.

PARTY HARD – After the Party is presented as part of the Melbourne Fashion Festival Independent Program supported by the National Trust of Victoria Foundation,SUNSTUDIOS, Greg Tyshing Represents, and The Prop Store.
