Inside the cathedral-like halls of White Bay Power Station in Rozelle, one of Australia's most ambitious art events has thrown open its doors for free — and families are invited. The 25th Biennale of Sydney, themed 'Rememory', runs until June 2026 and fills this breathtaking heritage building with immersive installations, interactive artworks and hands-on creative experiences that are as engaging for a seven-year-old as they are for an adult.
White Bay Power Station is an industrial masterpiece in itself — towering turbine halls, soaring ceilings and raw industrial bones turned into a world-class arts venue. The Biennale has programmed regular Family Days with free drop-in art workshops led by artists, so kids don't just look at art, they make it. The Biennale also extends to other venues including the Art Gallery of NSW and the Chau Chak Wing Museum, making it easy to combine with a broader cultural day out.
Families can look forward to:
- Free general admission to one of Australia's biggest art events — no ticket required
- Spectacular White Bay Power Station — a heritage building unlike anything else in Sydney
- Family Days with free drop-in hands-on art workshops led by practising artists
- Immersive and interactive installations designed to engage visitors of all ages
- Multiple venues including Art Gallery NSW and Chau Chak Wing Museum
- Runs Tuesday to Sunday, 10am–5pm — great for a weekday or weekend visit
- Located in Rozelle (Inner West) — accessible via ferry to Balmain East or bus
