Perth’s iconic ART BALL returns this November, and it’s safe to say—she’s glowing.
Joining forces with PrideFEST for this year’s event, The Art Gallery Of Western Australia (AGWA) will come alive on Saturday 9 November for one unmissable night of glamour and pure extravagance.
Hosted by Channel 7’s Matt Tinney, every floor of the gallery will be transformed into a Queer haven, hosting some of the most exciting international and local LGBTQIA+ talent across music, cabaret, dance and drag opera.
Star Studded And Sequined
It simply wouldn't be an ART BALL x PrideFEST party without Melbourne-based camp icons, The Huxleys. Specialists in all things sparkles and surrealism, their dynamic (read: beautifully absurd) performance is set to transport you to an otherworldly, glitter-drenched place and is an absolute feast for the eyes.
Singing it from the rooftops (literally) will be UK’s six-and-a-half-foot, six-inch heeled powerhouse Le Gateau Chocolat. Returning to the Southern Hemisphere to dazzle with his post-genre expertise, the cabaret performer will put on one hell of a show. Expect the unexpected.
Dress Code: Fabulous
Fire up the hot glue gun because the search is on for the inaugural AGWA Glambassador 2024. Show off your look on the rainbow carpet, and be in with a chance to take the Glambassador crown—is there truly a higher honour? The fabulous winner will score a stunning pair of Keiko Uno 'Fragments' earrings featuring aquamarine stones, valued at $1,200—how good.
If you need a little inspiration in the lead up, the AGWA Design Store will become the designated Queer HQ, bursting at the seams with banging LGBTQIA+ designs from near and far.
Come Out And Play
If the promise of non-stop music, dance and fabulousness isn’t enough, let it be known your ticket also includes a welcome drink on arrival, drink tokens and canapes served throughout the night. The official after-party will be at Connections Nightclub (free entry) for those who want to keep dancing into the early hours.
