Morning Sketch Club at MAMA

Start your Friday with a touch of inspiration at the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA). The museum’s popular Sketch Club returns today from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

It provides a relaxed environment to draw within the gallery spaces, taking inspiration from the current exhibitions. No bookings are required, making it a perfect spontaneous outing for those looking to engage with the local art scene in a hands-on way.

Evening Entertainment: Two Fires Chisel Barnes Show

For those looking to kick off the weekend with high energy, the SS&A Albury is the place to be tonight. The venue hosts the "Two Fires - Chisel Barnes Show," a premier tribute to the legendary sounds of Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes. The performance is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM. Known for capturing the raw power and soul of Australian pub rock, this show promises an evening of nostalgia and classic hits that will have the crowd on their feet. Given the popularity of tribute acts at the SS&A, arriving early for a meal or a drink is highly recommended.
