As part of its Al Fresco Initiative, the NSW Government has committed $15 million to city revitalisation, matched by $5 million from City of Sydney, for projects and activities that will attract people back to Sydney over the coming months.
This week, the NSW Government announced a new COVID-safe outdoor concert series, Sunset Piazza, which features 32 nights of performances from 28 January to 21 March at a dedicated theatre stage, installed at Cathedral Square.
Headline acts include Peking Duk (DJ Set), Ben Lee, Sneaky Sound System and Opera Australia, with tickets for all events just $25.
Live performance fans can also get their fix of culture with Sydney Opera House’s daily release of $21 tickets, or for those who prefer to stretch out on a picnic rug in the open air, head to the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney’s signature music, food and wine event, The Garden Social (until 7 February).
There is plenty happening in the city for art enthusiasts. The City of Sydney has commissioned four artists to create outdoor experiential artworks to reactivate some of the city’s laneways, including a ‘micro-forest’ of native species installed in Haymarket, near Central Station.
Sydney’s major arts and cultural institutions – including the Art Gallery of NSW, the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, the Australian Museum and the Powerhouse Museum – are taking part in Culture Up Late until March 2021, giving people the opportunity to visit exhibitions straight after work or during a night out in the city.
