Tucked away in Surry Hills, near Sydney’s Central Station, you’ll find one of Australia’s most inspiring, free permanent art exhibitions. This is where the legendary Brett Whiteley lived and worked. By Holiday Goddess editors.

From  10am through 4pm every Saturday and Sunday you can wander back into Whiteley World and hear the music he played, and see the furniture just as he arranged it.
This was Brett and his partner Wendy’s inner-city universe in the 1980s and it’s a powerful way to experience his art.

Once seen it’s never forgotten. But although some of his most famous pieces are in galleries, this is a unique way to spend a Saturday morning.

Exhibitions and art workshops change regularly in Brett’s studio so if you become hooked (some fans return throughout the year) there is always something new to experience.

Of all the decades Brett Whiteley was associated with it’s the 1970s with which he is most widely linked. That’s when he moved from alcohol to mind-altering chemicals and took his art with him. A Sydney boy through and through, he is world famous today. And here you are, with the chance to see his private life, on public display. Don’t miss it.
