The Rocks Pop-up is an initiative for activating temporarily vacant buildings by providing creative individuals and organizations with access to affordable space to produce and showcase original work, and host unique events while a long term tenant is secured. This on-going program evolved out of The Rocks Pop-up Project, a six-month pilot initiative, which began with just four buildings in May 2011. The initiative was designed to promote the short-term reuse of vacant spaces as part of a business incubator program for local and emerging creative businesses. The program was implemented by Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority in partnership with Arts NSW. In its first year, The Rocks Pop-up participants hosted more than 200 events and attracted more than 70,000 visitors to an array of creative activations. Currently in its forth year, The Rocks Pop-up supports emerging creative individuals and organisations who wish to collaborate and exhibit work. The Rocks Pop-up supports and hosts creative organisations and individuals in the areas of performance, arts, crafts, digital media and design. At present, The Rocks Pop-up spaces can be used as various venues including:

• studios

• galleries

• rehearsal and performance venues

The Rocks Pop-up is proud to connect Sydney’s broader arts and creative community with the living heritage that is The Rocks. If you wish to apply for a space, please contact The Rocks Pop-Up Team through [email protected] or 0401 713 998.
