Blog
Art Month Sydney Blog
March 1 - March 31
Art Month Sydney
The Art Month Sydney Blog is the home of the inaugural Art Month Critic's in Residence program, where seventeen emerging arts writers present their take on the extensive Art Month Sydney festival. The writers you will read here were selected for their daring talent and fresh style. They represent the trend in young and emerging arts people to be a jack (or jill) of all trades. Beyond art criticism these budding writers work in the arts, design industry, galleries, run independent festivals and ARIs, curate, some are fashionistas or are are artists themselves. The program will hopefully reach a wide and interested readership as well as promote the excellence of these emerging writers. Their writings will cover a selection of the very best exhibitions and events plucked from the broad Arts Month Sydney program.
