Biennale of Sydney

The 24th Biennale of Sydney, titled Ten Thousand Suns, ignited its transformative power of art across six iconic Sydney locations including White Bay Power Station.

This extraordinary exhibition showcased the visionary creations of leading artists from diverse corners of the globe, all within the hallowed halls of Sydney’s most iconic cultural institutions. Best of all, entry to this cultural extravaganza was free, making it an unmissable opportunity for art enthusiasts and curious minds alike.

Visitors witnessed the rebirth of history as the heritage-listed White Bay Power Station, a relic of the early 20th century and once a bustling coal power station, opened its doors to the public for the first time in over a century. Ten Thousand Suns breathed new life into this architectural gem, transforming it into a canvas for contemporary expression.

Attendees immersed themselves in the richness of Sydney’s art culture with a plethora of offerings, including artist talks, live music, panels, performances, and workshops. Family Days catered to all ages, providing a day filled with engaging programming for the young ones. For those seeking an atmospheric evening, Art After Dark at White Bay Power Station every Wednesday promised an alluring ambiance amidst captivating artworks.
