Real Life Human Resources: Firstdraft Christmas Party

There's always good cheer around artist-run Firstdraft; Christmas is just a bonus.

Overview

2014 has been a big year for Firstdraft. After 19 years residing on Chalmers Street, they made the move to a bigger and better space housed in Woolloomooloo, one of the oldest suburbs in Sydney. It's a fitting precinct for the gallery, which itself is one of the longest artist-run initiatives we have in Australia.

To celebrate this year's achievements, Firstdraft is holding a cracker Christmas party, curated by Tom Smith, who you might recognise from his musical output with fellow collaborator Marcus Whale. Witness the cultural imprint of wunderkind Holly Childs, the author behind the mind-bending novella No Limit; composer Austin Buckett; intermedia artist Giselle Stanborough; sonic explorers Half High; Young Thug-influenced artist Hamishi Farah; violinist Jon Rose; Lion Mountain Studio; experimental synth musician Nina Buchanan; and Marcus Whale, who will be performing a eulogy to his past nine years producing under the Scissor Lock moniker.

There's a $5 entry fee, but free sausage sizzle, so on balance, you definitely win.
