Bedrock Collective was founded in 2016 after witnessing the state of the arts and music scene in Sydney. We have many friends who are artists and musicians trying to get their work out there, but without the platform or community to help them. Bedrock is about giving exposure to unheard of and deserving artists in Sydney, creating artistic collaboration and holding bold and stimulating events in i
nnovative performance spaces. Our name comes from this concept, building up artistic collaboration from the ground up, forming new ideas and means of artistic collaboration between visual artists, filmmakers and musicians. Our three founding members - Madeleine Mallis, Genevieve French and Claire Simpson - are all women, and have long been disappointed by the absence of female musicians on gig line-ups and in gallery spaces. At our events we propose at least a 60% quota of female and GNC artists and musicians. We want people to come to these events and be surprised by the music and art on offer, to buy some new pieces and walk away with a new found love for a passionate artistic community.
