ArtsLab 2026

ArtsLab is a festival of new work from Sydney’s most exciting emerging artists. With daring new performance works spanning installation, theatre, puppetry, music, cabaret and comedy – this year’s ArtsLab is an exciting blend of young voices, ready to return to Shopfront in Carlton. This year, we’re also thrilled to welcome two incredible emerging technicians into the cohort, adding even more innovation and artistry to the mix.

This is the future of Australian performance — live, unleashed, and impossible to ignore.
