The streets and laneways of Chippendale will again be taken over this year by the colours and lights of the Beams Arts Festival.

Last time around, the inner city suburb was almost unrecognisable at festival time; a kaleidoscope of extraordinary sights on central Sydney’s doorstep. This year, for the festival’s third edition, the theme is ‘Utopia’. As many as 10,000 visitors are expected for a special street party in September.

Beams Arts Festival transforms the Chippendale Creative Precinct on Saturday September 20.

You can get involved as an artist – be it visual and performance art, animation, design, architecture, craft and more – by making a submission here. The deadline is Monday July 14.
