Looking for something fun to do during these school holidays? Discover art in unexpected places around Sydney!

The City of Sydney’s Art & About program now offers a year-round series of temporary art installations throughout the city. One of its highlights is the annual photography competition, Little Sydney Lives – an exhibit featuring playful, charming, and often surprising perspectives from young, budding photographers.

The top 21 finalists’ works are currently on display at Customs House, Level 2, Circular Quay, until January 2025.

And, for those who don’t live in Sydney or can’t make it in person to see it, there’s an online option! The shortlisted photographs and stories behind each image can also be viewed in the virtual version of the Little Sydney Lives exhibition.

Entries for the 2025 competition open early next year, and are open to young Sydney residents aged 5 to 12!
