Art and culture seekers are in for a treat as they explore Chapel Street’s creative side.

Culture vultures will be pleasantly surprised when they take in the creative side of Chapel Street. The precinct is home to more than a dozen art galleries dedicated to a full palette of mediums and genres. Art buffs and wannabe collectors can peruse contemporary, urban, indigenous and fine art created by emerging and established painters, photographers and sculptors from across Australia and internationally.

In parts, the street itself could be considered a work of art. Numerous heritage listed buildings and architectural features can be spied as visitors stroll to the next gallery. One of those is the Astor Theatre where guests can rejoice in the golden age of cinema. Or for something more buyable, browse numerous antique dealers for treasures of bygone eras.

Chapel off Chapel is an integral part of our cultural hub featuring art and performance spaces. Live music can be enjoyed here as it can at the iconic Revolver, staging everything from hard rock to electronica. For those who like their entertainment a little off-beat you can also find cabaret or circus acts within the precinct. In searching these out you’ll likely stumble across some kind of street art or an in-store installation on your way.
