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 Frontiers of Impressionism: Paintings from the Worcester Art Museum.Just like the exhibition, which pairs artworks across periods, cultures, and mediums to invite fresh conversations, 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 2–3 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
