FAQ

is a deeply moving experience. Visitors may experience heightened emotions, and we would encourage people to share those feelings with friends, family and the broader community.

To ensure the best possible experience when visiting the exhibition, sessions allow 45 minutes for your visit, with a limited number of people at any one time.

Due to capacity restrictions, please arrive within 10 minutes of your scheduled session time.

After experiencing the exhibition, guests are invited to visit the rest area in the bar, where coffee and cake are available for purchase; open Monday, Wednesday and Sunday: 10:00 – 17:00 and Thursday – Saturday, 10:00 – 15:00.

To assist in protecting the art installations no food or drinks, backpacks, tripods or commercial photography allowed in the exhibition.

Due to the immersive nature of the exhibition and the fragility of artworks, we kindly ask that children are supervised at all times by an accompanying adult or carer. We encourage parents of toddlers to use prams where appropriate.

We appreciate your cooperation.

The session I want to attend is sold out. Is there any way I can still attend?

This is a very high-demand event so most sessions are likely sold out. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door, but we recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment.

If you are a companion card holder please contact time.rone@artgallery.wa.gov.au with your order and companion card details.

• In the event that the organiser is required to reschedule or change the date or close the venue, your ticket will be refunded.

• In the event you can no longer attend and you wish to sell your ticket, please visit Humanitix for reselling.

How can I change my tickets to a different session?

Due to the nature of the building, we have limited capacity, therefore we are often unable to swap to another session.
