SUMMARY:Make a Connection!
DESCRIPTION: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 Desire and Abundance: American Culture and the Still Life. \nThis 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. \nWhat to Expect\n\nCash bar and complimentary light fare beginning at 6:00 pm\nQuickfire 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)\nPost-presentation mingling throughout the museum’s galleries\, where the connections continue\nNOTA Nightcap – Keep the conversation going at Carnegie Cellars Wine Bar & Kitchen\, exclusively offering 1/2 off select bottles of wine to Make a Connection attendees after the event!\n\nPresentations\nFeeling 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! \nDon’t have someone to present for you? Don’t worry—submit a slideshow and we’ll present it for you. \n\nYou must sign up in advance to reserve a spot as space is limited. Fill out our online form by Thursday\, June 18\, at 8:00 pm.\nKeep it fun\, friendly\, and positive.\nFeel free to include images\, but make sure that they are appropriate (we have nudes in the museum – we don’t need to see yours).\nKeep it short and sweet—each presentation gets 2 minutes! See an example presentation.\n\nMAG reserves the right to review all presentations prior to the event. \n\nFor questions about this event\, please contact MAG Marketing & Engagement at jgasbarre@mag.rochester.edu.
