Free Entry to Brett Whiteley Studio
Thursday April 19, 2007
From Saturday, April 21, entry to the Brett Whiteley Studio in Sydney's Surry Hills will be free.
The studio, managed by the Art Gallery of New South Wales, harks back to a time when the avant garde Australian artist lived there. The furniture, lighting, collections of memorabilia, postcards, photographs, objects are all as he arranged them.
The music played at the studio during opening hours is from Whiteley's collection.

The upstairs area is scattered with sketchbooks, paint and unfinished paintings, reference books, and walls covered with graffiti including inspiring quotes and images.
Downstairs is the gallery space with a series of changing exhibits of the artist's work together with others focusing on different aspects of Whiteley's work. The studio is also home to the annual Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship exhibition and award.
