SAVE FIRSTDRAFT FUNDRAISER ART AUCTION

Recently named by Creative Sydney as one of the cities’ top ‘Creative Catalysts’, Firstdraft Gallery - Sydney’s longest-running ARI - has been giving big breaks to budding artists since 1986. Some of Australia’s top young artists got their start at Firstdraft. Now we need your help.

Firstdraft lives in a building that has been served with a compulsory Council fire order. In the coming weeks and months, we must undertake significant renovations to our much-loved space in order to keep our doors open to the public.

Firstdraft will be rebuilding, rewiring and providing disabled access to our 3 galleries and 2 studios. And for that we need money we don’t have. Imagine if Firstdraft were to close... future biennale stars, gallery curators and the next generation of up-and-coming artists may not get the start they need.

That’s where you come in. Firstdraft is holding an emergency fundraiser auction at the gallery on Thursday 3 September 2009 to raise $20,000 for the cause. Former Firstdraft directors and artists, as well as fellow galleries, are rushing to donate artworks for auction in support of one of Sydney’s most important venues for emerging and experimental art. The auction will be hosted by Elizabeth Ann Macgregor, Director, Museum of Contemporary Art.

We need your support too. Come along and snap up some killer bargains. Tell your friends. Get involved! Every dollar raised will go to keeping alive a space that has added to the cultural vibrancy and creative spirit of Sydney for over two decades.

What: SAVE FIRSTDRAFT fundraiser art auction

When: Thursday, 3 September 2009 from 6-9pm [previews available from 12pm Wednesday 2 September 2009]

Because of this, BNG crew monger Rebecca has become singularly focussed on radical housing solutions for  RIGHT NOW. This involves fraternising with an emerging consortium of stakeholders with the power to purchase land in the city and implement a thing called a Community Land Trust. To find out more about this STAY TUNED. We will be presenting a chatroom event at bill and george SHORTLY with questions and answers and special guests who know all about this business.

NEWS FROM UDDER SPACE

Ex-Mekanarky crew calling for interest from artists for new warehouse in Arncliffe.

From Dillon: We've just had our offer on a warehouse in Arncliffe accepted by the

landlord, and are looking for Artists to rent studios.

It is an older style warehouse on 2 levels, rollerdoor access on both

levels, with good light, kitchen and some office type rooms.

The lower floor has a concrete floor, the upper one, wood. There is 3 phase

power in the building.

We will be renting spaces at around $1.75 psm per week, which gives you a

7m x 8m space for around $100 per week.

This would include most amenities, plus broadband, electricity would

probably be worked out separately though.

The space is currently an open warehouse space, so first in get the most

say in the studio layout.

The space should become available in 4 - 6 weeks time, but viewings can be

arranged prior to that.

I'll be posting more info, as the project develops, probably through the

old mekanarky website (www.mekanarky.com), and through facebook and

myspace.

GET INTO IT: SOCIALISING INITIATIVES

The crisis and beyond: for a stronger and fairer housing system A conference – Thursday 2 July 2009, 9.00 am to 4.00 pm – Mitchell Theatre, Sydney Mechanics School of Arts, Level 1, 280 Pitt Street, Sydney

Beyond the housing affordability crisis, beyond the global economic crisis … how can we make our housing system stronger and fairer?

Housing policy in Australia has been through a time of dramatic transformation, with the introduction of a raft of new initiatives from the Commonwealth Government, a new era of cooperation between Commonwealth and state/territory governments, and new instruments for funding housing assistance.

Shelter NSW is presenting a one-day conference in Sydney on Thursday 2 July 2009 to explore these issues and more:

• New Commonwealth Government housing initiatives
  
• NSW Government’s housing initiatives and implementation of Commonwealth reforms
  
• Public housing – is it to be limited to a role as the housing of last resort?
  
• Community housing – what is its capacity to become more than a service specified and subcontracted by government?
  
• The private sector – is there a crisis, and how does the tax system affect price and supply?
  
• Homeless people – will they really get their day in the sun?
  
• The working poor – will they continue to be the household that housing policy forgot?
  
• Tenants, both public and private – what is needed to create homes?
  

Speakers include:

• The Hon. Tanya Plibersek MP, Commonwealth Minister for Housing
  
• The Hon. David Borger MP, NSW Minister for Housing
  
• Mike Allen, Director-General of Housing NSW
  
• John Mant, lawyer and urban policy consultant
  
• Yuri Grbich, formerly Professor at Law, University of New South Wales and founding director of Atax, UNSW
  
• Kath Hulse, Associate Professor, Institute for Social Research, Swinburne Institute of Technology
  
• Sue Cripps, Chief Executive Officer, Homelessness NSW
  
• Carol Croce, Executive Director, Community Housing Federation of Australia
  
• Adam Farrar, Executive Director, NSW Federation of Housing Associations.
  

Who should attend?

Community welfare organisations, social housing tenants, providers of rental housing, tenant organisations and activists, and policymakers are invited to attend.

Venue

Mitchell Theatre, Sydney Mechanics School of Arts, Level 1, 280 Pitt Street, Sydney (5 minutes' walk from Town Hall and Museum stations, nearest cross streets are Bathurst and Park streets). Click here for a map.

Time

9.00 am to 4.00 pm, Thursday 2 July 2009. Check-in on the day of the conference opens at 8.00 am.

BILL+GEORGE NEWS APRIL 2009
SO HOT RIGHT NOW
Brand new funky studio moves

Bill+George was left naked of artists this month when good fortune befell our favourite son Ben Riding and he took his boyish good looks back to the western frontier in preparation for a 6 month stint in Europe. Coinciding with others downsizing into shared space and the building of a new studio at the end means we have spaces available for your inspection and interest. 

Details are:

small studio $250 per month

large studio: $800 per month

Writers and online media creative workers: 200 per month

Studio rent includes all utilities, waste removal services, wireless internet and general upkeep and maintenance of the building.

Bill+George was discovered by a collective of homeless artists having lost their beloved wedding circle gallery and studio space in May 2006. Bill+George was stumbled across as a derelict unhygienic warehouse with no plumbing or electricity. It took a bank loan through a generous friend and lots of wall building and steep learning curves over a 12 month period to get where we are today - 12 artists working across fashion design, performance, writing, visual arts, digital media and film making. And one very pretty Tango dancer.

Being an artist run space, rents are kept low in exchange for a flexible work environment. We sometimes hold events like film screenings or performance nights or rehearsals in the main space. We aim for a balance between a studious and professional work space where people earn a living, and bending the rules a little bit in the spirit of good looking conversation; a space where new ideas and collaborations can take off.

We share kitchen and meeting space, a ridiculously oversized and decked out bathroom, and feature big barn doors that open up onto to next doors Argentinean like vista. All in the heart of Redfern, fast becoming the next hot inner city hamlet (for wankers) The above spaces are also very hot and will fast be disappearing. So send an email with details about your practice, how many days a week you work, what kind of sounds you make while you work, and how big your commitment is and which space you have your beady eyes on.
