Visiting galleries of an evening has really started to catch on in Sydney. As its contribution to this widening field, Art Month is hosting six nights of Art at Night, with six Sydney precincts opening their doors late. Each evening one gallery hosts an art bar and FBi DJs, with a constellation of late-opening galleries around it. So take your love of art out after dark.

A lot of Sydney's festivals push the boundaries of expansiveness, but few manage to cover a month wall-to-wall the way that Art Month lays claim to March. It's a solid thirty one days of hooking-up contemporary art, artist initiatives and Sydney galleries with an appreciative general public. Returning for a third year, the festival offers you the chance to wend your way into the Sydney art world as it briefly claims some space for you in art locations from the rambunctious to the serene.

Bondi Pavilion, Bondi Beach
Newly rebirthed by the White Party's high-fashion party aesthetic, and renamed as this year's 'Bondiesta', the festival brings this new style to its old digs. Bondiesta's inaugural run will see music across two stages from Clave Contra Clave winners Mi Tierra, Tribalismo's army of DJs and drummers, batucada provided by Rhythm Brazil and more. To go with the sounds, the festival also offers dance workshops, latin craft how-tos, South American food and art markets in the Bondi Pavilion. Also in the pavilion is Emmanuelle Bernard's black and white photo show Rio in Bondi, illustrating the parallels between the two famous beach cities.
