From Mardi Gras and Art Month, to March Dance and International Women’s Day, there are many reasons to be excited about the arrival of Autumn.
Culture Up Late
March is your last chance to catch Sydney’s favourite cultural institutions after dark. So rather than heading straight home after work, check out the Art Gallery of NSW, State Library and Hyde Park Barracks for extended hours and extra programming.
Throughout March
The Museum of Love
The ultimate Instagram-worthy event this month is a new museum featuring 3 levels of immersive art installations and photo-worthy backdrops. At this unique love-themed experience, you'll get to shower in confetti, take a zodiac love test to find your match and jump out of a life-sized wedding cake.
March Dance Festival
Discover the diversity of independent dance practice in Sydney at March Dance. 108 artists and 9 organisations will present new dance works. There’ll also be workshops, dance classes, residencies, screenings, forums and talks across 10 Sydney venues.
Monday 1 March to Wednesday 31 March
Art Month
March is Art Month in Sydney. Check out exhibitions, workshops, panel discussions, studio visits, tours and precinct nights around the city.
Don’t miss a walking tour of 4 art galleries from Redfern to Chippendale where you’ll meet the artists and enjoy cheese and wine.
Thursday 4 March to Sunday 28 March
Sydney City Farm workshops
Sydney’s urban farm has a whole host of green-fingered workshops for you to get involved in. Kick start your edible garden with guidance and practical tips. Learn organic solutions for common pests in edible gardens from veggie lady, Toni Salter. Or volunteer at one of the working bees.
Various dates in March
Every Body Dance Now
Sydney Opera House are inviting you and your friends for a dance class at one of the world’s most iconic backdrops. World-class dancers, choreographers, performing artists and educators will lead classes in the open air, teaching a mixture of contemporary, jazz, hip-hop and Latin dance.
