Concrete Playground

Mitch Cairns, Janet Laurence, Brown Council and Tom Polo are just some of the big names you could stand to collect if you front up to Queen Street Studio's fundraiser this Saturday. And, who doesn't love a fundraiser? Especially when it's raising funds for a non-profit organisation that supports artists by managing studio spaces, establishing and running artists' residencies and facilitating professional development programs. Throwing your money at SpaceAID 2010 means more studio space for more artists, with Queen Street's long-term view to secure permanent spaces. Queen Street Studio already runs four spaces, including FraserStudios in Chippendale and Heffron Hall in Darlinghurst, but it needs more. So, if you're in a benevolent mood, or your walls are just looking a little spare, get yourself to the fundraiser and help support Sydney's independent art scene.
