Happy hour at MAG&M ft. Southey

Happy hour at MAG&M is back this summer!

Grab some friends, a glass of wine and see our Chromatic Luminosity exhibition up close after hours.

As the sun sets, enjoy an intimate music and light performance by local singer-songwriter Southey.

SOUTHEY

Southey is the musical project of Manly-based singer-songwriter, producer and engineer Tom Southey. Blending indie-folk songwriting with custom-built responsive lighting, Tom creates an intimate live performance where sound and light come together.

Writing and producing from his studio in Manly, Tom draws on his engineering background to design and build lighting that responds to the different frequencies of his live performance. Soft pulses of light glow in response to the music, adding a subtle visual dimension to his atmospheric soundscapes.

With over 8.5 million streams on Spotify, Southey brings together thoughtful songwriting, immersive sounds and a hands-on approach to music and technology.

Chromatic Luminosity, 4 December 2026 – 21 February 2027

This exhibition takes luminosity as its starting point, asking how contemporary abstract painting can reclaim the experience of colour, light, and presence. The works invite you to slow down, notice texture, materiality, and the carefully crafted glow within each piece. They offer a rare, immersive encounter: a quiet, intimate conversation between the viewer and the image that screens have not yet replicated.

Exhibiting artists: Angela Brennan, Tony Curran, Susie Dureau, Ollie Lucas, Nick Modrzewski, Michael Staniak, Justine Varga, Kate Vassallo and John Young.

Event partner: Tamburlaine - successfully producing award-winning organic wines.
