Sando Art Mart
Booze and art share a long and unassuming history, ranging from coaster origami to the stereotypical 'struggling artist' drowning their sorrows. Many artists claim to produce their best work whilst wrapped around a bottle, so the advent of a pub as an art mart venue seems like an obvious extension of this relationship.

With these chaps, it's all about getting involved; in 2006 the Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA) paced the pathways of Omnibus Lane (en route to the Powerhouse Museum) to catch punters offguard with their graphic antics. Cue (among other shenanigans), a pedestrian crossing with exclamation marks declaring ‘Design saves lives.

Regional Galleries
Regional galleries are fantastic and grossly overlooked. Three that I try and keep up with are the recently reopened, epic-scaled Casula Powerhouse; the revamped and extended mega-centre for the arts at Campbelltown; and the idyllic heritage cottages that make up Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers' Bequest.

There's something satisfying about effective juxtaposition. Consider deep-fried ice cream, or, on a more relevant note, the latest exhibition showing at the China Heights Gallery. ‘Scratching the Surface' sees Trent Edward's brooding, atmospheric seascapes sharing the gallery walls with Phil Harkness' electric, youth-centric illustrations.

This latest offering from China Heights showcases three Sydney artists, Gorin Tomic, Robyn Wilson and Sascha Raeburn, who have been billed as "emerging creative visionaries". The result is like something from a Kindergarten art class for the exceptionally gifted. Take that as you will, but I'd marvel more at the crazy-good illustrations of a kindergarten student than the scrap-heap sculpture of some beatnik uni arts student.
