Friday Nights at Jean Paul Gaultier

Tickets to the Friday night events cost $28 and are selling out fast.

Friday Nights at Jean Paul Gaultier opened its summer season last month, and the Melbourne public already loves the string of bands performing every week at the gallery.

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier will be transformed into a late night destination every Friday night at the National Gallery of Victoria, with live musical performances gracing the stage each week.

Visitors can enjoy an after-hours look at Jean Paul Gaultier’s exhibition ‘From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk’ while enjoying the live performances and French-inspired cuisine.

A range of well-known local and international artists will perform on Friday nights throughout summer, with the final performance on Friday, February 6. Elizabeth Rose, Touch Sensitive, Kate Miller-Heidke and Remi are just some of the artists participating in Friday Nights this season.

The series has already seen performers DJ Samson, Cibo Matto and Saskwatch grace the stage over the past few weeks.

This week The Bombay Royale will step up with a performance on November 14.

Other artists to play in November include Cumbia Cosmonauts on the Friday the 21st and Nun on the 28th.

For those wanting to take a break from the exhibition, NGV’s Gallery Kitchen and Great Hall will be serving a contemporary, French-inspired bar menu throughout the evening. Treat yourself to some nibbles, quiches, cheese boards or sweet crepes.

The exhibition will also include a “Dressed by Jean Paul Gaultier- Movie Marathon” and “Drop By Drawing: Fashion” classes throughout December and January.
