PEEPSHOW: Chippendale... behind closed doors

Sunday 19 October

An interactive, urban safari that exposes the secrets behind closed doors of the creative industries, the communities and the people that inhabit the suburb of Chippendale.

Pine Street is very excited to be collaborating with Queen Street Studios and City of Sydney's Art & About Festival this year.

What is PEEPSHOW? Essentially its an “open day” for visitors to interact with the Chippendale community through guided tours, open studios, product sampling, events, parties, performances and other cultural activities. It aims to raise awareness of the creative goods and services available in Chippendale and to showcase Chippendale's unique culture and people. Queen Street Studios are taking members of the public on chaperoned tours on an “open day”, where visitors will be able to interact with the Chippendale community through guided tours, open studios, product sampling, events, parties, performances and other cultural activities.

As part of the tour, visitors will come to Pine Street to explore and enjoy our ST2K Street Art Festival, which promises to be one of the events of the year!
