the Gallery Guide - Chippendale Creative Precinct
ED IT IO N 3 One Central Park, featuring Sea Mirror by Yann Kersalé and Patrick Blanc’s Mur Vegétal Frasers Property and Sekisui House are delighted to support the Chippendale Creative Precinct Chippendale Creative Precinct The Chippendale Creative Precinct (CCP) emerged as a way of harnessing and uniting the overwhelming creative pulse that flows through this lively inner city suburb. Overlooked and skirted around, Chippendale quietly grew into a thriving community of creative agencies, production houses, art galleries, cafes, bars, eateries, architects and designers, alongside three of our greatest universities. In 2010 Nicky Ginsberg, owner of NG Art Gallery realised the endless possibilities that this vibrant enclave of talent had to offer. With her unique vision – to make Chippendale Sydney’s answer to New York’s Chelsea – Ginsberg, as President, and the dedicated members of the CCP board of directors, set out to make it a reality. This irrepressible creativity, the lifeblood of Chippendale, is now shining a light on the positive vision to become Sydney’s next gallery destination. With 16 galleries now in the precinct, its creative revitalisation is well underway. With its humble beginnings, like the suburb itself, the CCP has thrived, matured and is now bursting with possibilities. The Chippendale New World Art Prize and the BEAMS Arts Festival attracting visitors in their thousands are now permanent landmarks on the Sydney Cultural Calendar. The Chippendale Creative Precinct is forever looking forward, to an even brighter future. www.chippendalecreative.com Design by Dane Ash Powerhouse Museum Open: Daily 10am - 5pm Closed Christmas Day Admission: $15 adult, $8 child/concession, $38 family A: 500 Harris Street, Ultimo T: (02) 9217 0111 W: www.powerhousemuseum.com The Powerhouse Museum displays an extraordinary array of treasures across decorative arts and design, science, technology, space, transport and Australian history.
