Open Day at The Wharf

Sydney’s Arts Precinct – Walsh Bay

Sunday 5 December 2010

10am – 4pm

On Sunday 5 December 2010, the arts companies resident in Walsh Bay’s Pier 4/5 (‘The Wharf’) will be throwing open their doors to the public.

This year, we’ll be joined by all of the other arts companies here at Pier 4/5 including Accessible Arts, Australian Theatre for Young People, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Bell Shakespeare, Biennale of Sydney, Gondwana Choirs and Sydney Children's Choir, Regional Arts NSW, The Song Company, Sydney Dance Company, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and Sydney Writers' Festival.

Dance, sing, paint, act and play: you can participate in free forums and workshops, take a tour or just come ‘behind-the-scenes’ at your leisure.

All your questions will be answered and secrets revealed…
