The Affordable Art Fair is preparing to throw open the doors to its fourth Sydney edition, and this promises to be its biggest and most ambitious event yet.

Get out of the house and shake up your weekend routine with a trip to one of these amazing Sydney museums. 

Matariki a.k.a. Māori New Year is just around the corner (Friday 20 June to be exact). A time of reflection and new beginnings, Aotearoa is busting out all the stops with a treasure trove of ways to celebrate.

Just shy of a year ago, Melbourne's RISING took the city by a cross-cultural storm with around two weeks of electric events, gigs, performances and experiences, and the good news is that they're officially returning for 2023. Dates have been confirmed—for Wednesday 7 June through to Sunday 18 June—along with the first act. And it's set to be a showstopper. 

If you’re keen to make your own teapots, platters, bowls and ceramic keep cups then you’ll want to pay attention.

The smash-hit immersive exhibition is coming back to Sydney.

Hannah Gadsby is returning to the Sydney Opera House next month with a brand new show.

We’re rolling into week three of lockdown now—and though you might have resisted the urge to bake banana bread thus far, we reckon it’s time to hunker down and embrace all the at-home creativity possible, baking or otherwise.

Right now, Sydney is entering a new era of nightlife. The red tape and restrictions that once earned us accolades like “10th worst city in the world” are being replaced with late-night licenses, city-wide festivals, and new venues keen to tap into the government’s grand scheme for a 24-hour city.

Remember Sydney’s monorail? Installed in 1988, it was ultimately torn down in 2013 and—like so much of our city’s transport infrastructure, it wasn’t exactly useful—but boy oh boy, was it novel.

Opening today and running until June, UTS Gallery is presenting a survey exhibition of works from celebrated Gunditjmara artist Hayley Millar Baker.

From sleeping and waking, to how we appreciate colours, drive cars, watch Netflix, and appreciate art—light completely defines how we see the world. Sometimes completely seamless, other times super awe-inspiring, light has the power to colour a moment, change a memory, or charge up a mood. 

Running in conjunction with IWD and Art Month, the exhibition displays the works of Indigenous Australian women from across the country.

Claude Monet is one of the most famous names in the world of art. He was a part of the crew that founded the French impressionist movement, was fascinated by light, colour and changing seasons, and really (really) loved to paint water lilies. His work is peppered throughout major art institutions all around the world, but sadly, none reside here in Sydney.

In celebration of Frozen the Musical hitting Sydney, Cork & Canvas has launched a fresh new Frozen-themed paint and sip series that’ll allow you to recreate the magic and sparkle from the scenes of this Disney classic.

As one of Sydney’s biggest hot-spots for all things clay-related, Clay Sydney is now a mecca of workshops, both in-studio and online.

And it’s packed to the rafters with 130 emerging and independent artists.
