Arts & creative industries

October marks the last month of the wonderful Pop-up Music Marathon run by the Inner West Council. I can confidently say that this celebration of live music and local artists has brought so much joy to our Inner West community.

The Dulwich Hill Art Trail took place on the weekend of 17th and 18th of September, covering the suburb’s streets with brilliant community creations.

History is our story; it is critical to our understanding of who we are as a community and to providing a foundation for all we do to create a better future.

I congratulate the Addison Road Community Organisation on the 2022 Addi Road Writers' Festival.

I congratulate Pratten Park Bowling Club, Ashfield, on hosting the Inner West Music Fest this Sunday.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the FUTUREPROOF Youth Music Festival, held as part of the Inner West Fest.

I acknowledge MakerSpace & Co, based in Marrickville, for their efforts in promoting the sharing of creative skills and knowledge with all of the community.

I congratulate Alessandro Berini, Selina Springett and Jayanto Damanik Tain on their success in being awarded the commission for a new artwork in Fox's Lane, Ashfield.

Small Fry Rock returned to the stage at the Great Club in Marrickville this month, headlined by Sarah McLeod from The Superjesus.

The inner west is a proudly creative community. Indeed, Inner West Council reports that creative and cultural industries inject $1.4 billion into the local economy each year.
