Join us as we put on a bar tab, lay out the baked goods, and open our doors to Sydney’s emerging artists.

This year, we’re combining our Industry Panel Evening and Emerging Artist Network Event into one big, low-stakes get-together — a supported, low-pressure space to meet like-minded peers and future collaborators.

Shopfront’s core team will be there alongside established Sydney artists if you’d like to chat about pathways, projects, and building your practice. Or you can simply grab a pastizzi, top up your drink, and see where the afternoon takes you.

Event is 18+.

Feeling ambitious? Make a day of it. Book in for every show and join us for the Artist Party in between. Across the day, you’ll experience seven new works from our resident artists, spanning theatre, operatic puppetry, dance, installation and magic realism — and connect with the community shaping what’s next.
