The Rusty Underground: What Makes Great Art?

Join us below the surface for an exclusive evening of raw, captivating, and polished storytelling.

Presented by IPSARI Inc. in collaboration with the seasoned public speakers of Bremer Forum, The Rusty Underground brings an intimate, atmospheric speakeasy vibe to the cozy cellar space of The Rusty Nail.

Guided by MC Leanne Walker, a sharp lineup of local voices will strip back the curtain to answer a single, compelling question: What makes great art?

Event Details & Logistics

• Tickets: Entry is completely Free, but registration is essential as space in the underground is strictly limited.

• The Venue: The Rusty Nail is a fully licensed venue. While entry is free, we highly encourage you to support our fantastic hosts by purchasing from their excellent range of drinks and refreshments throughout the evening.

• Food & Intervals: The evening is structured with dedicated intervals featuring live acoustic music. This gives you plenty of time to socialise, stretch your legs, and order delicious charcuterie boards and food directly from the venue without missing a single speaker.

Come for the atmosphere, stay for the conversation, and experience a truly unique night of local storytelling.

PLEASE NOTE: The performance will take place in a space that is accessible via stairs only.  There is a single entry and exit point, and ceiling heights are lower than a typical venue. We understand this may impact accessibility or comfort for some guests, so if you have any questions or would like to discuss your needs before purchasing tickets, please contact us and we will do our best to assist.
