carriageARTworks 2010

From 25 March to 24 April, as part of Art Month Sydney, CarriageWorks presents carriageARTworks – a free annual event celebrating the most original and evocative works of art from Sydney’s city fringe. A cultural Mecca for contemporary art and design, CarriageWorks features artists from select galleries and Artist Run Initiatives around Sydney, curated by a panel of Sydney’s most well‐known artistic contributors, including Guy Maestri (Winner 2009 Archibald), Jamie Dawson (Executive Producer, CarriageWorks), and Paul Howard (Senior Curator, Casula Powerhouse). As a partner venue of Art Month Sydney, CarriageWorks – the converted rail carriage workshop, in Eveleigh – is the venue for Art Month’s closing night celebrations on March 31. Showcasing new ideas as well as the most creative aesthetic pieces in an incredible industrial space, carriageARTworks brings artist, audience and gallery curators together and acts as the backdrop for a speed‐dating‐style meet and greet earlier on March 31, which is culminating with a finale party for Art Month that brings together Sydney’s most creative and cutting‐edge types under one cathedral‐scale roof. Featuring a broad mix of work on canvas, sculpture, photography, mixed media, video art, performance art and textiles, carriageARTworks unfolds over a month into a multifaceted public showcase of creativity. Artist talks, tours and themed forums spark conversation around art from the point of the artist and the consumer, and boast the cream of Sydney’s creative crop in one unarguably impressive gallery space.
