Aged to Perfection | Over 45S Queer Art Meet-Up – Mel

Fine art, iconic vibes, and marvelous chats for our fab over-45 crew!
Calling all our fabulous over-45 gays, theys and other iconic queer love-lays! We are gathering for a delightfully cultured Saturday afternoon of world-class Australian art, grand creative inspiration, and marvelous company.
Sick of apps and craving real-world connection with fellow legends? Everyone comes solo to these, so don’t overthink it babes – you will be greeted with warm smiles and absolutely zero clique pressure the moment you arrive.
We will take our time strolling through the stunning galleries at a super easy-going pace, followed by a casual coffee or knock-off catch-up drink nearby to yap about our favorite pieces.
Come solo. Come curious. Come exactly as you are.
