Dear Artbeat Member,

In just two years, NGV Artbeat has become a Melbourne institution. Life imitated art at the Black and White themed Party held on Friday 6 May at NGV Australia at Federation Square.

Bill Henson was the guest of honour, with celebrations focusing on the hugely popular exhibition Bill Henson: 3 Decades of Photography.

Thanks to our generous event sponsors, City Peugeot, Seriously…, Cariel, Connoisseur and Santa Vittoria, who helped make this Artbeat’s biggest and most exciting event to date. See the photos.

For those of you who are yet to see Bill Henson: 3 Decades of Photography at NGV Australia, I urge you not to miss this unforgettable exhibition. Take advantage of your Members discount and encourage your non-Member friends to join and receive free admission.

Best wishes,

MELISSA OBEID
Manager, NGV Members
