About

Saturday 16 May | The Epicurean, Red Hill
6pm – 11pm

An unforgettable evening of art, music, fashion and the finest food and wine of the Mornington Peninsula.

Marking its inaugural year, Gala Rouge is set to become the pre-eminent annual celebration of arts and culture on the Peninsula. Presented by La Rue La Rue Gallery in partnership with The Epicurean Red Hill, this is a night designed as a truly immersive experience.

Hosted by acclaimed actress Georgina Haig, the evening will unfold across a series of curated moments, from arrival through to late evening, blending art, performance, music and a refined culinary experience.

Guests will enjoy:

• A premium culinary and wine experience showcasing the Mornington Peninsula’s leading producers. 
• Curated music and live entertainment throughout the evening. 
• An exclusive preview of La Rue La Rue’s winter exhibition A Life. Be In It. – The Artworks of Alexander Stitt AM, ahead of its public opening

At the centre of the evening is the unveiling of a major retrospective of works by Alexander Stitt AM (1937–2016), presented as part of NGV’s Melbourne Design Week. Best known as the creator of the iconic Life. Be In It. campaign, Stitt’s work helped shape Australia’s visual culture during the late twentieth century. Rarely seen and drawn from a private archive, the exhibition offers a unique insight into one of Australia’s most influential creative figures.

This is more than an event.
It is the beginning of a new cultural tradition on the Mornington Peninsula.
