Whether you're seeking gigs, performers, suppliers or partners, Neon Marketplace is your hub for placemaking and vibrant 24-hour activities across NSW.
We share opportunities from councils, government, industry, and community partners that connect directly with the Neon Marketplace audience.
Opportunities are at the heart of Neon Marketplace — from exciting events and activations to place-based collaborations and initiatives happening across the state.
What do we mean by Opportunities?
Districts might be looking for musicians or DJs for a summer activation, a mural artist to create public artworks, or an event producer to deliver a local festival.
Local businesses could be searching for a video content creator to produce engaging social media, or a temporary space to launch a pop-up store or showcase products.
Councils and government agencies may list grants, funding programs, or EOIs for local businesses and Districts to get involved in major events.
Commercial brands might be looking for ways to reach new audiences through activations or creative partnerships within NSW Districts.
Start exploring today — discover opportunities, connect with others, and bring your going out economy ideas to life across NSW.
