Mystery Photo II Revealed - School of Arts

Better late than never - Mystery Photo II was indeed the old School of Arts - just down the road from the Courthouse Hotel at 5 Eliza Street, so not very well disguised from my readers ! Unlike the Elizabethan Theatre, there's not a lot of history of the School Arts available online, apart from this somewhat rambling effort from the Newtown Diamond Jubilee. I'd be interested if anyone knows more about the building's history, or even what goes on inside today - it seems to be mostly dance classes.

School of Arts in 2009

As it was :)

Introducing Newtown What's On

I'm hoping to start a regular what's on guide to Newtown on this site. Ideally posting every Wednesday in time for the (extended) weekend, covering one off concerts as well as regular events, art exhibitions, book shop readings e.t.c.

In order for this to work I'm going to need help from you; especially if you own or run a venue or know someone who does. If you have a weekly mailing list, please add the mayor to your list. If not, please email me early in the week with what events you're running during the week.

And I'll be fairly generous with my definition of Newtown - Enmore and Erko definitely rate, Marrickville depending on my mood; Surry Hills and the CBD - no chance !

My email address is mayorofnewtown 'at' gmail.com.

Have a look at a skeleton what's on here. Looking forward to some feedback.
