One of the most exciting art galleries/project spaces in Sydney is about to open, and we are super stoked to be on board as a supporter. Introducing Lo-Fi Collective.
LO-FI Collective is a week-to-week showcase of Australia’s leading low brow artists, designers and photographers. The 6 month initiative is a rare move to support this exceptional home-grown art movement. LO-FI Collective is part gallery and part studio featuring a selection of resident artists to both produce and exhibit weekly in the space, and has been provided at no cost or commission to the artists.
Be sure to keep updated through the blog as these future exhibitions at Lo-Fi are promising to be amazing. Some of the future shows include Meggs, TwoOne, Numskull, Beastman, Go Font Ur Self* and many many more to be confirmed. Stay tuned.
Tonight is the opening of “The Keg Show”. Turn your heater off and get to waterloo for a beer and some art.
“Stone & Wood Brewing Company presents twelve Australian artists using Stone & Wood beer kegs as canvases. All profits going to charity. An event where art and the art of handcrafted beer come together for a good cause.
Original works by Beci Orpin, Ben Brown, Lang Leav (AKINA), Beastman, Numskull, Sara Hingle, Claudio Kirac, Nick Chalmers, Milly Loveknuckles, Terezka Beck, Amber B, Phibs
Proudly supported by aMBUSH Gallery, Design is Kinky, Element & 19KAREN” More info here.

A couple of local artists made the paper yesterday. What the paper didn’t write is that it was actually 4 artists. Beastman, Numskull, Roach and Saynt.
