Greenwich Art Trail

One of Sydney’s surprises is that there are so many unknown gems. And **Greenwich** — the hidden gem of an artists’ hub — is one of them. It is not only stunning with its beautiful water views, it is also amazingly charming with its artistic vibe. It is a secret hub for award-winning contemporary artists, illustrators, sculptors, ceramicists, jewellers, photographers and textile artists. Just surprising, surprising and surprising — all happening in such a small community. I took our AAA Art Lovers there in 2023, and I am so thrilled to discover that the art trail is back on track. Can’t wait! The first week of November, the time when the jacarandas paint the streets purple, the time when the 38 artist's studios open their doors to welcome us. So, here we are, here is our trial: **11:30 am – Meet & Connect** **No. 1 Studio – 1 Ford Street, Greenwich** We will meet at No. 1 Studio, then have a coffee before we start our Art Crew adventure. **1:00 pm: Foodies & Arties Delight** – There is a delightful café (I can't remember the name), but I'm sure we'll spot it somewhere along the way. **2:00 pm: The Crew Continues...** We continue our art trail until we reach **No. 38 — Greenwich Sailing Club.** **What to Bring** * Comfortable walking shoes * Water bottle * Camera or phone (where photography is permitted) * Your curiosity and love of art **Dress Code** Creative Casual---something that makes you feel artistic and comfortable. **Please Note** ✨ **Every AAA Art Lovers Australia event is FREE to join.** * This community is proudly supported by Alina Interpreting Australia, whose sponsorship covers the Meetup platform and administration costs, allowing us to focus on bringing people together through art. * Participants are responsible for their own exhibition tickets, guided tours, flights, accommodation, transport, meals and personal purchases. * Please update your RSVP if your plans change. **Terms & Conditions** By attending this event, you acknowledge and agree that: * Participation is voluntary and at your own risk. * You are responsible for your own transport, accommodation (where applicable), admission tickets, meals and personal expenses. * Please respect venue rules, fellow members, venue staff and artworks at all times. * Any shared transport or accommodation between members is a private arrangement. * The event itinerary may be adjusted if required due to venue requirements or unforeseen circumstances. * Event photographs may be taken for AAA Art Lovers Australia.

A WEEK ON NORFOLK

DAWN FRASER POOL BALMAIN

Painting Exhibition : The Road to Freedom

By Christopher Gleeson - 2 NOVEMBER to 25 NOVEMBER 2026 The **‘Road to Freedom’** is an exhibition of 12 paintings, three years in the making, depicting the evolution of humanity in accordance with Rudolf Steiner’s World View. They show our beginnings aeons ago, when we were conceived in the womb of our spiritual mother, and our gradual descent into solid matter where we now struggle with materialism and Ahrimanic beings, trying to find our way back to our true home in the Higher World. Seeing the panorama of our amazing journey stretched out before us in picture images can be useful in bringing our understanding of the human condition into perspective, and offer us insights into the whole process of our evolution.
