The Northern Beaches is home to a vibrant and diverse creative community and has been a place of cultural practice for tens of thousands of years.

This winter Creative Open returns bigger and better to celebrate Northern Beaches’ art, design, and music. The festival will run from Thursday 27 – Sunday 30 July.

The annual program features exhibitions, performances and events, open studios, walks and talks, a makers’ market and public art.

It’s an exciting time to welcome applications from entertainment venues, creative businesses, and arts practitioners to deliver innovative activities and fun events for the Creative Open 2023 program.

Creative Open provides an opportunity for participating venues and practitioners to connect with new audiences, promote their business and build stronger relationships with the local community and creative sector.
