Frocks on Bikes joins a magical evening with a ride to Auckland’s galleries and museums for White Night
Auckland Arts Festival 2011 presents White Night on Saturday 12th March
Let’s join the “Storm of artistic excitement” when Auckland’s galleries and museums will stay open until midnight, featuring special exhibitions, activities and performances.
A wonderful opportunity to dress up and, using the perfect mode of transport for the event, visit the different White Night sites by bike.
Meet at 6pm at Aotea Square where White Night launches with drumming, bands and other performances.
From there at about 6.40pm we gently ride towards Ponsonby to Whitespace Gallery on Crummer Road for an operatic performance in the window from 7pm – 7.45pm.
We will follow a route to 8 more venues ending back at Aotea Square
