Bedrock's Long Weekend

Overview

Sydney's Bedrock Collective is throwing its third and biggest long weekend event featuring bands, DJs, VJs, performance artists, local designers and visual artists.

Bedrock's founders Madeleine Mallis, Genevieve French and Claire Simpson have long been disappointed by the absence of female musicians on gig lineups and in gallery spaces. But rather than accept this dismal reality, they decided to be the change themselves, with their events promising at least a 60 percent quota of female artists or gender non-conforming individuals and musicians.

"Bedrock is about giving exposure to unheard of and deserving artists in Sydney, creating artistic collaboration and holding bold and stimulating events in innovative performance spaces," says Claire.

"We want people to come to these events and be surprised by the music and art on offer, and walk away with a new found love for a passionate artistic community."

Head to Stirrup Gallery, 142 Addison Road Marrickville from 6pm on Friday and Saturday, February 17, and all day Sunday, February 18, for your fill of wine, watercolours, and bangers that'll make you say 'tune'. Tickets are $10 on the door.
