We had the pleasure of attending the industry showcase at Ivy Windsor - a beautiful, intimate piano bar and live performance space right down the road!

Having called Chapel Street home for nearly a decade, we know firsthand that a thriving arts precinct relies on a rich ecosystem of diverse venues. When new creative spaces open their doors, it lifts the entire street up - bringing more foot traffic, more opportunities for artists, and more energy to our cultural hub.

Next week, we’re hosting the Ivy team at our place to talk about how we can work together to support local artists and revitalise Chapel St Precinct as a premier destination for live performance. In a challenging time for the arts industry, building a supportive network of venues isn't just nice, it's essential!

Bring on the party vibes, Ivy ( windsor)! 🥂🎭
