Yen Young Australian Artist Award + Anthea Boesenberg + 2 Group Shows @ Gaffa
Openings at Gaffa are always guaranteed to open your eyes to something new, because no matter which opening grabs your attention, you’re forced to check out 3 other exhibitions as well.

Wild Eye @ Space@565
A lot of people wander past the City of Sydney RSL without a glance, or perhaps wander in for a cheap beer and a punt. Who’d have thought they’d decided to create a massive gallery space out of their second floor bar?! Not us, certainly. Space@565 is building a name for itself as an affordable place ...

Andrew Ensor + Beth Josey @ Hardware
As the sun dropped during the first week post daylight savings time we entered Hardware Gallery to check out the latest by Beth Josey Andrew Ensor.

Tim Schultz + Monika Behrens + Rochelle Haley @ MOP

Art Windows Project + Nairn Scott @ Potts Point
Part of Art Month Sydney’s goal is to heighten the profile of artists and galleries.

James Dorahy has called upon some of his favorite artists and local businesses to turn the main ...

PETRO – Too Big To Be Human @ China Heights
BIG night at China Heights last week with the opening of PETRO’s solo show “Too Big To Be Human”. The man is a graffiti writer, illustrator,sculptor, installation artist and photographer and we are sure he’d go ahead and try anything else you threw at him.
I Know Where I’m Going! @ galleryeight
Elke Reinhuber’s new show “I Know Where I’m Going!” opened at galleryeight on Friday night. It was such an amazingly positive title for a show of eerily melancholy photographs exploring the theme of diverging paths and direction.
Project 5 Auction @ Leonard Joel Auctions
Project 5 is a fund-raising initiative by the Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE). The shots we’re showing are from Project 5 round two. The first event in May raised over $10,000 for the guys at ICE, so they were keen to make it happen again.
Still Life – FBi Fundraiser Auction @ The Art Gallery of NSW

There is a very very sexy new exhibition space in Sydney – the name is LO-FI Collective. We recommend you get along and acquaint yourselves.
Ben Frost + James Jirat Patradoon @ Boutwell Draper
