2-4pm
Join us for an afternoon session of Wilty Meetups in the ACCA forecourt during our current exhibition, NEW26.
During this whimsical workshop, attendees can decorate (fake) eggs, create egg portraits and participate in an egg and spoon race, in response to EJ Son’s artwork, Eggverse 2026. Embrace your inner child while finding enjoyment in play and creation.
No experience is needed and all materials will be provided, along with light refreshments. You are also welcome to bring your own preferred art making materials and picnic blanket (plus snacks)!
A bit about Wilty Meetups:
It all started with strangers meeting at the park.
Wilty Meetups is a community for silly introverts in Naarm/Melbourne to make new friends. Ever since 2022, they have been gathering monthly for various social catch-ups, creative workshops and side quests.
Why do they exist? Because social isolation and loneliness are so last year. Everyone needs people and everyone needs community.
The Wilty Meetups community now comprises of over seven thousand ‘Wilty Buds’ and they are just getting started. Their events aim to create safe spaces for mindful connection and creativity and to empower participants to show up authentically (even if you’re a little bit shy).
