Art Meets Science: EMERGENCE[Y] Exhibition at Science Gallery Melbourne

Join me for a relaxed Saturday morning wander through **EMERGENCE[Y]**, Science Gallery Melbourne's latest free exhibition. It brings together artists, scientists and collaborators from around the world to explore how we adapt to a world in flux — from the regenerative promise of stem cells to the movement of Martian winds. Think regenerative coral soundscapes, fungal fashion, First Nations knowledge of the Birrarung and a vertical city farm, all under one roof. We'll meet at 11am outside the gates of Science Gallery Melbourne, say hello, then head inside together to explore at an easy pace. There's no set tour — we'll drift through the exhibits, chat about what stands out, and enjoy the space as a group. As a bonus, local artist Dylan Martorell's **Wild Circuits** installation is on that day, bringing the junkyard to life with interactive sound sculptures made from upcycled objects and robotics. Just so it's clear: this is a casual social meetup arranged so we can go along together — it isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Science Gallery Melbourne. Entry is free and you don't need a ticket, but an RSVP here isn't a booking or guaranteed entry. **Who this is for** * Anyone curious about art, science, or where the two collide — no background knowledge needed. * People who enjoy a gentle indoor activity and a friendly chat. * Solo attendees are very welcome — lots of people come on their own, and it's an easy setting to meet others. **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YkvyqemwWDp38GJ27 * EMERGENCE[Y] exhibition: https://melbourne.sciencegallery.com/emergence-y * Related Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKMo0uWRLc8 **Timeline** * 11:00am – Meet outside the gates of Science Gallery Melbourne and say hello * 11:15am – Head inside and explore the exhibition together * 12:45pm – Meetup ends (feel free to stay on if you'd like to keep looking around) **Cost** Free — Science Gallery Melbourne's website lists EMERGENCE[Y] as free admission with no booking required. Just turn up. **Transport** Science Gallery Melbourne is at the University of Melbourne in Parkville. It's an easy walk or tram ride from the city; trams along Swanston Street and Grattan Street stop nearby. Parking around Parkville is limited, so public transport is the easy option. **Bring** * Comfortable shoes for standing and wandering * Water and a curious mind **Expect** * Difficulty: Easy — a relaxed indoor stroll * Pace: Gentle, self-guided * Vibe: Curious, friendly and low-pressure * Group style: Casual and social **Important notes** * The gallery notes a content warning: the exhibition contains potential allergens, and references to the climate crisis, the concept of death and medical themes. * It's an indoor exhibition, so it runs rain or shine. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.

Coffee Meet up | God-led Business Owners & Creatives

God‑Led Business Owners, Entrepreneurs & Creatives is a gathering for those building with purpose — founders, makers, creatives, and business owners who are committed to walking with Jesus as they create, innovate, and lead. This meet‑up is a space to support one another, share enriching conversations, and navigate the worldliness, pressures, and complexities of the industries we’re in. This community exists as an opportunity to support one another, and not feel isolated in the unique journey that is entrepreneurship, owning a business or pursuing creative endeavours. We get together to talk about the real stuff — the challenges, the wins, the spiritual battles, the opportunities, and the calling behind the work. If you’ve been craving conversations with other big thinkers, dreamers, and action‑takers who love God and are building boldly, this is your space. Given this will be our first meet up, we will structure with both casual networking, and also have a few questions to get the conversation flowing. Look forward to meeting you!
