Tabletop Battles, Art Galleries, and Blockbuster Hits: What’s On in Albury Today

Discover Local Art and Emerging Talent

Start your Friday in Albury with a visit to the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) on Dean Street. The museum is currently hosting several thought-provoking exhibitions that are perfect for a morning or afternoon of exploration. One highlight is the exhibition titled George Street, which draws inspiration from Narelle Autio’s photography to explore the personal and emotional connections we have with our city's thoroughfares.

Additionally, you can view RAW26, the annual showcase of original artworks produced by the Murray region’s young people. This year’s exhibition features eleven emerging artists exploring themes of memory, history, and human connection. It is an excellent opportunity to support local youth and see the world through the perspectives of the next generation of creatives.

Community Meetups and Tabletop Gaming

For those who enjoy a more interactive social experience, the local community has several meetups scheduled. Good Games Albury is hosting the Lorwyn Eclipsed - Friday Night Commander Party.

Aviation fans and social butterflies may also want to head to the Albury Aero Club on Airport Drive. The club is holding its Friday Night Social, featuring guest speaker Tristan Mol. These social evenings are a fantastic way to meet locals with a passion for flight, share stories, and enjoy a relaxed start to the weekend in a unique setting.

Outdoor Adventures

If you prefer to spend your Friday in the fresh air, the Border Bushwalking Club is concluding their four-day circuit today. While the group will be returning from the Falls Creek area, it serves as a reminder of the many active community groups in Albury that facilitate outdoor meetups and nature appreciation throughout the region.
