Old station becomes new power of innovation and creativity

Sydney Art Zone is centred on White Bay Power Station, a heritage listed building.

Sydney Art Zone stretches from the harbour foreshore from a future ferry terminal to the boundaries of Rozelle’s industrial area.

The power station is a relic of the past with interesting industrial technologies and a cathedral-like space soaring 20 metres in height.

The power station can accommodate any type of exhibit from installations suspended in its vast void through to being filled with music, bathed in light or digital media. The space will embrace and highlight each exhibit’s significance. That’s what makes the power station special. Like Tate Modern it can happen here and nowhere else in Sydney.

But of real importance to Sydney Art Zone are the Rozelle community and its industrial buildings. Imagine a precinct dedicated to the arts. A workshop space of huge diversity and flexibility for artists and innovators. Breweries for ideas. Incubators of dreams . . . all part of Sydney Art Zone.

Sydney Art Zone will be a home for all things creative.

Imagine Rozelle and Balmain recapturing their heritage as a vibrant art and technology community, a place of discovery, imagination and engagement.

Image the energy and excitement of thousands of creative and innovative ideas happening in one place, colliding in to one another to create new experiences and unique collaborations, all bursting out and displayed in White Bay Power Station.

This is what Sydney Art Zone wants to create.
