Sydney’s Darlo Bar has long been a sanctuary for up & coming artists. On April 15th from 7-10pm, the popular establishment will be transformed into a live photo studio for the event 'Seven Hundred Photos', a concept created by the now LA-based Jesse Willesee.
Seven artists and seven designers will be let loose on - yes, you guessed it - seven of the hotel's guest rooms. The creative septuplet will include Antochrist, Casio Ono, Shayli Harrison, FTW, Saint Augustine Academy, Bella Kay and We Were Warriors by Kalindy Millions.
The call is going out to Sydneysiders to pack up your Nikons, Canons, Fish-Eye lens and take on the role of photographer as you go from room to transformed room participating in the live photoshoots.
Darlo Bar has created its very own drop of wine, aptly titled ‘The Thirsty Artist’. Creatives around the area are invited to send in pictures of their artworks. Every few months the staff riffle through the entries to select their favourite. The wining artist scores a case of the wine with their artwork on the label.
In keeping with this wonderful project, the winning public-snapped pic from 'Seven Hundred Photos' will feature on labels of Thirsty Artist wine.
This is not Jesses' first creative partnership with Darlo Bar. He was also responsible for Painting in Hotel Rooms at the Darlo Bar in 2009.
