How do we make Walsh Bay green and colourful at the same time? Already hailed the arts hub of Sydney, Walsh Bay is the heart of arts central (amidst Sydney Theatre Company, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Sydney Dance Company, Australian Theatre for Young People, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Regional Arts NSW, Accessible Arts, The Song Company, Gondwana Choirs and Sydney Children’s Choir) and on March 8th, it will also go green with a panel armed with ideas to make the hub a sustainable cultural precinct. Panelists include Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton (Co-Artistic Directors of Sydney Theatre Company), Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP, Craig Allchin (Director, Six Degrees Architects), Lisa Havilah (CEO, CarriageWorks) and Rafael Bonachela (Artistic Director, Sydney Dance Company). This event is free so let’s get the city talking about the two subjects that often fly under the radar – the arts and the environment.

Mar 8, Sydney Town Hall, 483 George St (cnr Druitt St), Sydney, 8256 2222, cityrecitalhall.com
