Actually we are very cold in our artic warehouse, but new theatre curtains in our rehearsal space should warm things up a bit. They have arrived (finally) and will be rigged in our beautiful space by the end of next week. A round of applause.
What else….?
artSlab DEADLINE EXTENDED until the 15th July. Check out the projects page for details. If you are an artist working in collaborative practice in any medium/discipline and need space with an exciting project then you probably need to apply. Talk to us!
THE LOBBY
We have decided to open up our lobby space to exhibitions and viewings of work. Our launch date is in November (we are sooo organised) but we will keep you posted as the date looms closer. But this is exciting as we are now riding the crest of the artistic wave, now that the establishment/building phase is but a distant memory. The focus on the viewing space (to be called The Lobby) is for artists with not a lot of money (that’s most of us) or time (that’s all of us) to mount a modest sized exhibition in a DIY fashion, ie. Do it Yourself. We can offer a prepped space of 4 walls approx 35m2 and host your opening. All for 200 bucks for two weeks. Sweet huh! The launch is pitched for the 7th November and will be a group show of all the Bill+Georgeous people in the space. Stay very tuned.
BROADWAY FRASERS
We have inadvertently become part of rumblings on Kensington street near the old CUB site. Plans to hold a preliminary gathering/information evening at Bill and George towards the middle of July to discuss possibilities of how his should go ahead. If you have queries/interest please contact bek at bek@billandgeorge.org
EL LOCAL
Tango lovers will be going loco when they find out that we are launching the first of a regular milonga at bill and george on the 15th July. To be known as ‘El Local’ the gig promises sweet dancing for tango dancers of all types 9pm til the wee hours.
Artist. Run. Adventure.

We're online!
Wow wowowoowowoo hoo!!!
Bill and George have finally arrived in cyberspace, taking their brand free new space to the information superhighway. Here you can find out what the hell we are on about and send us messages of love and adulation.
But first: this weeks musings
Our friends from Aerialize together with the very gorgeous Liz Martin and the god dammit child prodigies Bridzilla are performing in an aerial club night at the studio Opera house on May 16 & 17 called “Walking on Air”. Check them out here
And book tickets as soon as you finish reading this sentence because one show has already sold out, and they are only doing two. STOP PRESS: Oh my goodness it is all sold out! BUT don’t worry, they are providing an extra show for the desperate ones that missed out. Double woop.
ALSO our very special and most favourites friends and cohorts from Queens street studios are having their annual space aid art auction on May 17. Rsvp essential!! Visit here. We are comrades in arms so any support for them is support for us too!
By George!! Said the City of Sydney to Bill and George and they invited us to submit a proposal for the laneways project in the city called, By George! Only four projects will be chosen in the end and so we have been bunkered down in our creative think tanks (undisclosed location) to dream up an alternative universe that can be executed on the streets without going over budget or overtly stepping on political toes. Tough call. But we are energised by lots of ideas and hope to draw on a number of our associate artists who have been part of our work in various ways over the years. How excitement.
In other news, Ruby and Bubbles are getting bigger.
And yes, Bek (who recently sleep walked out her first storey bedroom window on the morning of her 34th birthday) has only got another 39 sleeps to go before she can walk without the aid of her Frida Kahlo vest and matching crutches. At which point she will run like Forest Gump around the world several times and grow a beard. Presently she remains wide awake and (still) dreaming.
