Make a Connection!

We invite you to spark something new — whether it’s a friendship, a flirtation, or just a fun night out. Join us for Make a Connection!, an evening inspired by the exhibition Hugo McCloud: to everything there is a season. This event brings people together to discover unexpected common ground. Come ready to mix, mingle, and maybe meet someone who brings a little extra color to your canvas. What to Expect Cash bar and complimentary light fare beginning at 6:00 pm Quickfire presentations from 6:30–7:15 pm, where participants (or their loyal friends) take the mic for a 2 minute slideshow-style spotlight celebrating their best qualities (attendees can watch without participating) Post-presentation mingling throughout the museum’s galleries, where the connections continue Presentations Feeling bold? Want to show off a friend or yourself? Promote yourself or your friends in a positive light with a 2 minute slideshow highlighting best features! Don’t have someone to present for you? Don’t worry—submit a slideshow and we’ll present it for you. You must sign up in advance to reserve a spot as space is limited. Fill out our online form by Thursday, November 12, at 8:00 pm. Keep it fun, friendly, and positive. Feel free to include images, but make sure that they are appropriate (we have nudes in the museum – we don’t need to see yours). Keep it short and sweet—each presentation gets 2 minutes! See an example presentation. MAG reserves the right to review all presentations prior to the event.
