Year: 2019

Curator: Daniel Muscat

The Living Creatures Project launched in 2019, celebrating live creativity and community. Its first activation partnered with Sydney All Friends’ weekly event This Is Living at the Newtown Hotel, where we turned Saturday afternoons into a live art arena.

The project brought together a lineup of talented local artists, including Michael Black, Thymeofknead, YT, Ritual.44, Blankanvaz, and Creatur. The artists painted their artworks in real time, sharing their process with the crowd and bringing the energy of Sydney’s art scene to life.

Group Art Exhibition

In 2019, the first Living Creatures Project Art Show was created, taking a lineup of Sydney artists on tour to Huskisson, Jervis Bay.

The exhibition was designed to inspire the local community by showcasing a diverse mix of styles from Sydney’s street and urban art scene, bringing new energy, character, and creativity to the South Coast.
