Each January Sydney Festival shakes up our city with a summer festival of art, music, dance, theatre and immersive experiences.

We are proud of our long history of commissioning ground-breaking new Australian art, and we're equally proud to be a great place to work, with many of the seasonal team members returning year after year.

The team, which swells to over 100 during festival season, is tight, and the environment supportive. The harbour views from our office are to die for and our coffee machine best in show. Most importantly, we know how to throw a party.
