When searching for cultural after-dark adventures in Sydney, the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia's (MCA) Artbar series never disappoints. Taken over by the singular vision of an artist, curating an evening of art, installations, live music and performance, it's a playful space dedicated to artistic talent and good times. This April, revered Bundjalung painter, photographer, musician and tattoo artist Shaun Daniel Allen (Shal) is serving up a unique and exclusive 18+ program dubbed Artbar: Liner Notes—visual, sonic and social melting pot of uncommon encounters "connect, contrast and complement one another".

Rooftop sounds reverberate on the harbour with music by Beth and Blue, Mark Callaghan and a DJ set by Oxford Art Factory co-founder, Edward Woodley. Plus, you can even take home a more permanent keepsake with tattoo artists Sophia Baughan (Hand in Hand) and Garth Neale (Eazy Tiger) inking designs on-site. This is a one-off event you don't want to miss. For more information or to grab your tickets to Artbar: Liner Notes, visit the website here and see current exhibitions for the night here.
