La Rosa Social Club
Coming from LA, this interactive art bar will pop up at Carriageworks for Semi Permanent.
Overview
With design conference Semi Permanent set to hit Carriageworks later this month, the two entities are joining forces to present La Rosa Social Club. The space is the brainchild of LA-based filmmaker, curator and cultural icon Aaron Rose who's headed for Sydney following pop-ups in Berlin and at the LA Art Book Fair. The multifaceted project is part-exhibition hall, part-bar and part-performance space, and it will pop up at Carriageworks' Elston Room from Wednesday, May 24 to Thursday, June 1.
La Rosa Social Club will serve as a gathering place for international creatives, serving up live performances and art exhibitions alongside food by Sammy's Burger Bar and a selection of local wine, beer, sangria and, most importantly, Negronis from Bondi's Corner House. Everything in the space is sourced from recycled material or thrift and vintage stores, then customised by Rose and his crew of artists — including the floral ceiling installation by Holly Hipwell, handpainted cushions by Madeline Simms and a suspended mural by Natalie Krim. The drinks menu, wine bottles and limited edition cocktail napkins will also be created by the group of artists.
The pop-up will start with a launch party on the Wednesday and a private event for Semi Permanent ticket holders on the Thursday. Entry is free, but you should RSVP here ahead of time to ensure you get in.
La Rosa Social Club will run from May 24–27 and on May 31 and June 1, from 5–10.30pm.
UPDATE Friday, May 26: Triple j Unearthed rapper Genesis Osuwu is performing a free gig at La Rosa Social Club on Saturday, May 27 at 8pm. All you need to do is RSVP at larosasocialclub.com to gain entry.
