Fifty One: Havana Nights

Overview

The northern beaches aren't famous for their burgeoning art scene. Not yet, anyway. Enter Fifty-One: it's a monthly event founded with the purpose of uniting creatives on the northern beaches and developing the art scene. Promising pizza, beer, music, local art, and plenty of people with whom you can hold an interesting discussion, there are huge things that can be expected of Fifty-One.

December's Fifty One: Havana Nights donates its proceeds towards Cuban surf-charity Royal 70. Surf + philanthropy might seem like a strange combination, but it's an approach that's already been successfully mooted by Aussies abroad elsewhere in Latin America. Art support this month comes from the likes of Paul Rodger and Jimi May, while Lime Cordiale cover the music front.
