Overview

The Gallery's annual late-night event is back! Curated by sensational duo The Huxleys, this iteration celebrates Yankunytjatjara artist Kaylene Whiskey and her vibrant exhibition Super Kaylene Whiskey. This immersive night will be like stepping into a Kaylene Whiskey artwork, with glittering live performances, creative pop-ups, interactive workshops, art tours and a dancefloor pulsing with Kaylene's favourite music superstars like Dolly Parton, Cher and Tina Turner.

Expect the unexpected with roving performances from Bendy Ben, Gabi Barton and Rosie Allways. Get crafty with the Haus of Dizzy crew to make your own vibrant bag charm, kick up your shoes with Kath Ebbs for a Cowboy C*untry line dance, or get down and Grumble Boogie with the vivacious Betty Grumble. The night won't stop there, with show stopping performances from The Huxleys, D Flowers, Felicia Foxx, Kitty Obsidian, Nana Miss Koori, Nefertiti LaNegra and Simone Page Jones. Keeping the night electric will be master of their craft 2Joocee as MC and ultimate party starter DJ Charlie Villas.

Gather and feast on a mouthwatering line-up of food stall offerings, or grab a drink at one of the bars.

But wait there's more! The Gallery is your runway and you are the star. The Gallery invites all the pop divas, superheroes and inner icons to werk it – there are prizes to be won for (simply) the best dressed.
