Art Excursion Morning Delight
Indulge yourself in an experience that pops open some of Sydney’s most freshest creations.
Starting with a coffee in a 150 year old former bank, delve into The Rocks Pop Up Project’s maze of creative minds
temporarily residing in four vacant heritage buildings. Snuggle up to a screening of ICE’s DigiDiaries or perouse
unique art and design at 47 George St; let your inner poet plant its seeds at the Red Room Company’s Clubhouse
in the old puppet shop basement; dream up a bespoke waistcoat at Son of a Master Tailor; and push the ethos of asserting humble,
sometimes depreciating honesty through Gaffa’s kinetic sculpture, text and video work in 85 George St.
When: 11:30-12:30pm
@ 47 George St and exploring all The Rocks Pop Up Project spaces
