Hidden Talent. Grand Unveiling.
Somewhere in your group is an undiscovered artist. Nobody knows who yet, least of all her. Strokes of Genius is the Saturday that finds her: eight of you, bride included, painting one very photogenic muse. And the unveiling at the end? Pure theatre.
The afternoon opens behind closed doors in the Melbourne CBD, in a private room of your own that is all girly pink hues and neon lighting, with stunning decor at every turn. A cocktail lands in every hand on arrival, served by your hunky topless waiter, who is with you for two hours and private to your group. He hosts a hens game or two while the room fills with giggles, and the bride gets first pick of his attention. Obviously. Consider it the warm-up act before the main event: her art debut.
Then the real work begins. Aprons on and materials ready, your own artist host takes the group through every step while the muse settles into position. He moves around so everyone gets a clear view and holds each cheeky pose like a true professional. For the next couple of hours he is quietly the most studied man in the city. Our tip? No peeking at each other's canvases. Then, on the count of three, every canvas turns around at once. The shrieks! The critiques! Somehow the bride has painted a genuine likeness, and the whole room tells her so, loudly!
Film that turn, because it's your camera-roll moment. One portrait will be flattering and another will be hilarious, and the muse will pose beside both without a flicker. Every one of those canvases goes home with its artist, too.
Genius is hungry work, so your reserved table in the main dining room fills with delicious share plates while a bonus cocktail makes its way to your hen. Consider it her artist's fee. The critics, meanwhile, are just getting started.
Now for the after party. A short, heel-friendly stroll takes you to our glam cocktail lounge down a Melbourne laneway. You breeze in with VIP entry and no cover charge, and a reserved VIP booth wrapped in plush velvet waits under custom neon for two hours. Just when she thinks the surprises are over, a bottle of bubbly arrives for your hen. Pop! Cue the squeal, then cue the dance floor, which happens to be right on your doorstep. Somebody will attempt the moves she practised in the mirror, and it will be glorious.
It's an afternoon of genius and a night of glamour, all in one Saturday. Before the night is out, the bride will introduce you to anyone who will listen as the curator of this whole exhibition. Nobody got stuck holding a clipboard, and nobody missed the reveal, you included. Take a bow.
