Stairwell Gallery Final Days
Posted in Uncategorized on January 4, 2011 by thesugarmillSo January marks the end of The Absolut Stairwell Gallery @ Kit & Kaboodle.

To celebrate the artists whose works have adorned the walls of the Kit & Kaboodle Stairwell over the last year and a half, the final show is a tribute to their talent and the company that has made this event possible.
Artists from each show will be exhibiting a piece that incorporates the signature Absolut vodka bottle. The works will be for sale through silent auction bidding.

Relax this isn’t actually a post about ‘Take That’ and the dramas surrounding their come back tour, i just couldn’t resist putting this picture in seeing as the title of this post had ‘Take That’ in it.

The Brains behind ‘The it. Collective.‘ are branding and marketing strategist Olivia Corvett, reversible denim innovator Kassandra Scardino and social snapper and blogger, Steven Mileski.
The it. Collective strives to create and promote creative works from talent spanning all design mediums and crafts. Already they have received a flock of interest from young photographers, designers, artists and performers seeking to stretch their wings into new projects that promote their art down alternative avenues.

Enter Through The Side Street
Posted in Uncategorized on June 28, 2010 by thesugarmillMagic and wonder can be seen in everyday life, however living day to day in the hustle and bustle of the Sydney streets we can sometimes lose track of this natural beauty that is all around us. This month at the Absolut Stairwell Gallery Side Street and Lisa Zhu plan on changing that….
In a series of photographs that prove the camera to be the most prolific expression of love there is, viewers will be reminded why Sydney is indeed one of the most enchanting cities in the world.
As Side Street Sydney’s highly respected photographer, Lisa’s romantic images appear on the website every Saturday and celebrate the diversity of landscapes within the city, particularly those that are often taken for granted. With her unique eye for beauty and ability to look at space differently than most, Lisa’s images compel locals and visitors alike to take a second glance around the city they are lucky enough to be in at any given moment.
Here are some of Lisa’s works as a sample of what will be in store for you on July 8th.
Come down and celebrate our wonderful city and Lisa’s work at the Absolut Stairwell Gallery on July 8th.

Oh Snapped !
Posted in Uncategorized on April 15, 2010 by thesugarmillHey There Everyone!
Below are some super social snaps for you to sink your teeth into.
We’d like to thank everyone for coming to ‘The Movement’ Launch on April 1st and if you didn’t get snapped or your photo didn’t make it try wearing brighter clothing, do something outrageous and ‘work it’ its very important that you work ….. it …. as much as possible. However the all time bestest, sure fire – est way to get you photo up is to buy some of the amazing artwork up for grabs each launch. And you know that when you get your photo on this blog …. you’ve made it, you’ve reached the absolute Zenith of existence. We once put up so many photos of this guy called steve that he actually reached a higher state of being….. he became one with the universe and we never saw him again…. bit of a shame really.
But Anyway here are the images from ‘The Movement’ Launch and stay tuned for the next Stairwell Gallery Launch on Thursday May 20th!
