Vasili Kaliman (Co-Founder and a member of the Advisory Board for the event and Director of Kaliman Gallery) has announced via his facebook page a new art event Art Month Sydney. Art Month Sydney 2010 will take place from 1-30 March 2010 where "Fifty art galleries, art auction houses and public art institutions across Sydney will join together to demonstrate the importance and diversity of Australia’s art scene."
The event will function similarly to Sydney Design Festival as it promotes and links art events across the city. Although the elements have yet to be announced is will be very interesting to see the depth of this event and whether it will provide a real contribution to the Sydney art scene. Although I am very excited to see the what this esteemed group of galleries and art lovers will produce, we will have to see whether the Sydney audience can sustain enthusiasm for the many events that will happen across the year including the 2010 Biennale of Sydney in May.
