Art Pharmacy brings you a series of events designed to inspire and inform people from all walks of life about the importance of public art projects, and how to run one.
All About Art is a three-part panel series presented by Art Pharmacy in partnership with Ace Hotel Sydney. Three evenings. One honest conversation about art in the world around us.
ALL ABOUT ART SERIES #2: BUILDING ATMOSPHERE
Walk into the right room and you feel it before you see it. Something in the light, the scale, the object on the wall or the work moving on the screen in the corner. Art does that. Not always. But when it works, it works on the body before it works on the mind.
Building Atmosphere goes behind the scenes of how art shapes a space, from the artwork on the wall to the digital work on the screen. It is a conversation between the people who build that feeling into a room, exploring the brief, the creative process and what it really takes to make a space feel the way it does.
WHEN: Thursday 10 September 2026
TIME: 6 :00pm to 8:30pm
WHERE: Ace Hotel Sydney, Brick Room
TICKETS: $25 including entry, a house drink and snacks

ALL ABOUT ART SERIES #3: STATE OF THE ARTS
Public art, live music, a city that is alive after dark. Someone pays for all of it and someone makes the rules. This is a conversation with the people who do both.
State of the Arts is the final evening in the All About Art series. A conversation on arts funding, public policy and who really decides what gets made. What does it take to build a city where culture thrives? And what happens when the funding dries up?
WHEN:Thursday 12 November 2026
TIME: 6:00pm to 8:30pm
WHERE: Ace Hotel Sydney, Brick Room
TICKETS: $25 including entry, a house drink and snacks
