About this Event

The Calile is delighted to present an evening with celebrated Australian Artist Ben Quilty in conversation with the National Gallery of Australia’s (NGA) Nick Mitzevich.


Famous, and some would say infamous, for not shying away from harsh truths, for tackling difficult topics head on, for championing the marginalised and putting issues on display unflinchingly, Quilty’s reputation precedes him.


Quilty undeniably creates art saturated with emotion – exposing his fierce moral commitment and empathy to the world with every brushstroke. Work that challenges, that entertains, that moves us – whether it be via vulnerability or humour.


The upcoming exhibition at Jan Murphy Gallery delves into the recesses of Quilty’s private collection, he has curated an exhibition that is both highly personal and spotlights significant moments in his ever-changing creative process.


Join us to celebrate Jan Murphy Gallery’s upcoming ‘Ben Quilty: 20 Years’ solo exhibition with an evening of dining and compelling conversation. The exhibition opens at Jan Murphy Gallery on 19 November until 7 December 2024 and features key works from 2000 – 2020 from Ben’s studio and private collection.


Evening format:

Arrival drinks and canapés: 7pm

Dinner and discussion: 7.45pm

Drinks and dessert: 9pm

Event ends: 10pm
