Art Month Sydney announces Simon & Catriona Mordant as inaugural patrons

Art Month Sydney has launched an expanded 2011 program, announcing Simon and Catriona Mordant as inaugural patrons and welcoming the return of NAB Private Wealth as Principal Partner of the annual month-long contemporary visual arts festival.

An expanded participants list in 2011 will bring together commercial galleries, public and private museums, artist run initiatives, non-profit artist spaces and auction houses under one central Art Month Sydney umbrella.

The 2011 program will include exhibitions by Australian and international artists, art talks, late night gallery openings, behind-the-scenes collections tours and artist studio visits.

The popular art bars will return in 2011, along with the weekly focus on different arts precincts throughout Sydney. More detail on programs and events will be added to the revamped website in the lead up to the event, being held at locations across Sydney from 1-31 March 2011.
