The Art of Connection for Singles: National Gallery Experience

A Hosted Social Experience at the National Gallery Looking for a more meaningful way to meet new people? Join us for a unique singles experience where world-famous art becomes the conversation starter. Through fun challenges, shared discoveries and thought-provoking conversations, you'll meet like-minded people in a relaxed, pressure-free environment. We'll begin outside the National Gallery with a warm welcome and short introductions before dividing into small groups of 5–6 people. Groups rotate throughout the experience so everyone meets a variety of new people. Challenge 1: Love Through Art Find one artwork representing Love, Heartbreak, Happiness or Adventure and discuss your choice. Challenge 2: Which Painting Are You?
