Dressing Sydney: The Jewish Fashion Story

The Sydney Jewish Museum marks its 20th year with an exhibition on Jewish fashion.

148 Darlinghurst RoadDarlinghurst NSW

2

Welcome to the spring issue of ThIS Week In Sydney, with lots of information about what’s happening in and around the city.

From its beautiful beaches to balmy nights and gorgeous gardens, Sydney really blooms in spring. Why not try experiencing it and the sparkling harbour waters aboard a Whale Watching Sydney cruise? It's an especially great way to enjoy the sights of the city from the water.

This year, there's a jam-packed calendar of events, with exhibitions galore to keep the artistically-inclined happy. Don't miss Sydney COnTeMpORaRy, Australia’s new, high-end and contemporary international art fair from 20–22 September. Or, if you want to catch a show, the old-favourite GReaSe is on at The Lyric Theatre from October 13.

Plus, make sure you don’t miss out on SCulpTuRe by The Sea – where art and nature combine. This popular outdoor exhibition transforms the coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama from 24 October–10 November.

So, grab your diary and flick to our What’s On pages on p8 for more information on the key events happening around Sydney. Enjoy the city this spring!
