Project Five, Volume Five

Overview

Art & About is slowly turning every street, laneway, building site and intersection into a canvas for creativity and storytelling. As a part of this initiative comes Project Five, Volume Five — a month-long presentation of outdoor street art in Sydney’s iconic Darling Harbour.

Encompassing the best in live art, music and with a huge range of family-friendly activities, Project Five is an exciting, contemporary celebration of arts, also functioning to provide funds to support the artists of tomorrow.

The core of Project Five is a public art exhibit lasting the entire month and showcasing 16 large-scale works created by renowned Australian artists Jodee Knowles, Rone, Numskull and Adnate. Then, on the weekend beginning 27 September, contemporary Sydney artists will transform the Village Green into an open-air studio, painting live works as thousands watch on. The unique artworks created during the three-day event will be auctioned off, with all proceeds going towards the further development of the Information and Cultural Exchange’s digital arts program.

Although now the fifth time that the Project Five event has been held, this marks the first time it has featured as a part of Sydney’s Art & About Festival, with aMBUSH Gallery and Darling Quarter teaming up to promote the community collaboration initiative.
