Win a Fancy Art Weekend Trip for Two to Sydney

Are you planning a fancy weekend away in 2016? Forget glamping (seriously forget it, let’s pretend it never happened), we suspect 2016 is going to the year of the gallery getaway. This is a wonderfully alliterative way of saying that 2016 is shaping up to be an amazing year for Australian galleries and you owe it to yourself to spend a few glamorous and very grown-up weekends out of town taking in the exhibitions.

To help you get started, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Museum of Contemporary Art have a slam dunk of a prize pack to giveaway to a lucky couple (platonic or otherwise) which is designed to bequeath unto you a weekend spent enjoying the cornucopia of art and culture available in Sydney right now. The full prize will include return flights for two (economy from Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart or Melbourne), a night’s accommodation in the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth and two art passes which grant you entry into The Greats: Masterpieces from the National Galleries of Scotland exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Grayson Perry: My Pretty Little Art Career at the Museum of Contemporary Art. If you need to bone up on the ins n outs of the current exhibitions, let us help you out: a review of Grayson Perry can be found here and a review of The Greats here.

As if that wasn’t enough, they’ll also throw in a feasting voucher (glory of the gods!) for dinner at Matt Moran's Chiswick at the Gallery and drink vouchers for MCA's pretty, pretty Gin Garden. So if you win you can bank on two days of art, boozing, and artful boozing which pretty much sounds like the perfect weekend. Now go forth and enter the contest!

Thanks to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and the Sydney International Art Series, we have one trip for two to Sydney from Melbourne or Brisbane up for grabs. The prize includes two return economy flights to Sydney, one night accommodation at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, two Art Passes (provides entry into The Greats at AGNSW and Grayson Perry at MCA), one dining voucher for CHISWICK at the Gallery, drink vouchers for the Gin Garden at MCA. To be in the running, subscribe to the Concrete Playground newsletter by January 18 and then email [email protected] with your name and address. The winner will be notified by January 19.
