Art in the Park

Overview

Art in the Park is taking art out of white cubes and closer to you. Its second incarnation, happening at Sydney Park on May 16, will deliver a bigger lineup than the first. Fifteen artists will head out and about for the afternoon, where they'll create works before your eyes.

Names on the bill include YoungEarlGrey, creator of pop art-inspired works; Martina Martian, whose skate art and fashion accessories come with an '80s retro twist; Vishmi Helaratne, whose work combines photography, drawing, painting and printmaking; Tori Rose Wright, an illustrator who describes herself as inspired by "femininity, body positivity, nature, emotions, friendship and youth"; and ten others: Rohan Goode, Playkill.SC, Tsuki, Taropea, Joel Easson, Natasha Michels, Spoonty, Bofus, Sudjuice and Alex Xerri.

You're invited to simply kick back and watch or bring your own pencils and paints and give your art muscle a run. By way of soundtrack, there'll be live music from Sarie Mannering, a Sydney-based singer-songwriter, along with others.
