SPACE SUMMIT
In addition to this expanded live program, Sound Summit welcomes the country’s key independent and innovative venues for a show-and-tell fest, we present Space Summit – a mini-forum for focusing on independent music of all genres via the amalgamation and collective presentation of Artist Run Music Initiatives & independent space collectives from Sydney and beyond.
During the October 2nd day-long event, collectives who are reshaping our definition of ‘venue’ including 505, The Red Rattler, National Association of Visual Arts (NAVA)’s ‘We Are Here’, Space Syndicate and 107 Collective will come together to discuss the ins and outs of hosting independent music in new and emerging performance spaces from the perspective of host, artist and fan.
