Creative Open 

WINTER ARTS FESTIVAL
24 - 27 July 2025

Turning Sydney’s north into a playground every Winter, Creative Open celebrates the Northern Beaches bourgeoning contemporary art scene. Throwing open the doors to the Beaches’ many studios, venues, and creative spaces, the program draws artists and audiences from across Sydney together to create, explore and connect. 

From Forestville to Freshie, to the thriving creative hubs of Brookvale and Avalon, Creative Open champions local artists and new sounds from our most vibrant established, and emerging voices. 

Enter a place where utopian natural environments contrast against edgy industrial hubs to play host to the boundless imagination of its community of makers, designers, and artists. 

Applications for the 2025 program will open in February 2025.
