    Open Weekend

    Sat, 12 May - Sun, 13 May 2012

    Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney

    The Art Gallery finds its missing hoard of Aussie art and throws you a party to celebrate. As well as offering ongoing shows like the Archibald and the newly opened Australian Symbolism exhibition, the weekend will fill itself with art and the ideas around it. Thomas Keneally will narrow his focus to colonial Sydney, architect and acting director talk up the new space and its design, Wendy Whiteley talks about the life and work of Brett, and Delia Falconer, author of Sydney, talks about the same. And there's plenty more music, film and workshops where that came from.
