CarriageWorks

Opened in January 2007, CarriageWorks is the new home for contemporary arts and culture in Sydney. It’s a place for creativity and innovation, where artists are given the opportunity to conceive, develop and present their work in an inspiring and creative atmosphere.

At CarriageWorks we believe that creativity extends into all facets of life, and we present Program of extraordinary events and unforgettable experiences for every person that visits this unique artistic hub. Some of our major events include:

Sydney Children’s Festival, every corner is transformed into an artistic playground for kids aged 5 - 12
Platform Hip Hop Festival, a 2 day festival of hip hop culture
carriageARTworks, an exhibition of contemporary art from the city fringe
The Finders Keepers, independent design and art markets
Wrong Prom, a mass dance class experience inspired by cult classic movies
CarriageWorks’ Kitchen Garden Project, a series of workshops about sustainable living

Performance Space, one of our Resident Organistions, also present a wide and diverse range of contemporary performances and events that keep the building buzzing with artistic activity all year around.

Adding to the rich cultural atmosphere at CarriageWorks are a number of Resident Organisations, all working within the contemporary arts sector: Erth, Force Majeure, Performance Space, PlayWriting Australia, Reeldance, Stalker and Version 1.0. CarriageWorks and the Residents work together to diversify and broaden the arts events on offer.

Take a risk, see something new, feel something different, try something you’ve never done before… There’s no other place like CarriageWorks.
