Making friends as an adult is hard – meet new people and make new connections over food and art! We’ll be serving three courses in the gallery and enjoying an accessible art activity to get the conversations going!
This event is for anyone who’s been struggling to make new friends, is tired of only connecting online, or has always wondered what those exclusive “dinner in an art gallery” events were like but never had a chance to go!

When: Thursday 25/09, 6pm – 8pm
Where: Gasworks Arts Park, 21 Graham Street, Albert Park VIC 3206
Age: 18+
Hosted by Louise Samuelsson
Louise is a Swedish textile artist living and working in Naarm/Melbourne since 2018. Her practice involves hand-embroidered textile works, mixed media, and soft sculpture. Using needle and thread, she punctures and moves beyond the surface, manifesting how healing and hurting work in discordant tandem.
The idea for Keep in Touch was born out of her experience of the post-COVID loneliness epidemic. Using art as a jumping-off point to create real connections outside of the digital landscape
Keep in Touch is a creative project exploring loneliness through craft art, visible mending workshops, and a dinner party. The activities connected to the project were developed to break down modern barriers to connection. Whether that’s meeting in person or learning a helpful skill, Keep in Touch is a reminder that connection, like craft, is something we make by hand.
