The Gothic Bank

Have a browse of the museum, explore and sketch in the historic gothic bank. "Considered the finest secular Gothic-Revival building in Australia, this building was completed in 1887 and is renowned for the splendour of its interior. Today, it is the headquarters of the ANZ World Headquarters and home to the ANZ Banking Museum, which tells the story of Australia's banking heritage through displays of currency, money boxes, office machines, firearms, gold-mining equipment and uniforms. Originally erected as the head office of the English, Scottish and Australian Bank, the top two floors were the residence of George Verdon, general manager of the bank. The bank expanded in 1922 to occupy adjacent buildings on both streets. In 1990, all three buildings were extensively restored."

Coffee & Create: Colour your thoughts

Sometimes our thoughts are easier to paint than they are to put into words. So join us for a playful and creative afternoon where we’ll slow down, connect, and explore what’s on our minds through colour, conversation, and a little imagination. No artistic experience is needed, just bring yourself and an open mind. Through a mix of games, collaborative art, gentle breathwork, and creative prompts, you’ll discover that sometimes the best conversations begin with a little D.I.Y. art. Join us as you are and leave with new connections, fresh perspective, and art that’s uniquely yours. When: 08 August 2026 \| 12:00 pm Where: Mercato Centrale Melbourne Tickets: $25 (first five tickets are $12) What’s included: art materials, guided facilitation, good vibes, and great company Flow of the event: 🎨 Round 1 — Pictionary Hustle We will kick things off with a light-hearted game of Pictionary. The first team to crack the challenge will get an early clue for the next activity. 🧩 Round 2 — Decode & Paint Each team receives a mystery prompt to solve together. Once you’ve decoded the clue, you’ll create a collaborative painting inspired by your interpretation. There are no rules, no right answers, and no expectation to be “good” at art, just creativity, curiosity, and teamwork. 🌿 A Moment to Breathe Before our final activity, we’ll pause for a short guided breathing exercise to quiet the mind, reset, and make space for reflection. 🖌️ Round 3 — Colour Your Thoughts The final activity is a personal one. You’ll create two simple artworks: one representing where your mind is today, and another representing where you’d like it to be. This session is about expressing yourself in a way words sometimes can’t.
