This October, City of Sydney is bringing a fabulous array of art, music and performance to our streets and public spaces with Art & About celebrating Sydney’s cultural spirit.

Oxford Street, one of Sydney’s most loved precincts and home to the world famous Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, is the focus of many activities. There’s roaming bands, exhibitions and the hilarious Love TV, a performance installation referencing the area's colourful history and personal stories.

Sydney Life, the popular exhibition of large-scale photographs, returns to Hyde Park. City and neighbouring Village streets come alive with a retrospective of striking images on banners from past Open Gallery exhibitions. There’s an exciting public art project celebrating the role of horses in Erskineville, and in the CBD, our laneways become vibrant exhibition and performance spaces with works from some of Sydney’s most interesting artists.

Join us at the free launch in Taylor Square North on 9 October, check out the program, and be part of celebrating Sydney’s diverse and vibrant cultural life.
