Art & About Sydney

Celebrating our city’s creativity and imagination.

Performers suspended on ropes execute acrobatic moves on the side of a tall glass building against a clear sky.

Expect art in any corner of our city, at any time, including major installations, intimate exchanges, and thought-provoking exhibitions in unusual spaces.
