Vivid Sydney Festival – S+A listed in Top 100 Creatives
Schamburg + Alvisse have been listed as part of the Top 100 Creative Catalysts for the inaugural Vivid Sydney Festival for “offering a vision of sophisticated sustainability” (Vivid Sydney Media Release, dated May 21 2009).
Vivid Sydney is a unique new public festival which brings together large scale light installations and projections, music performances, creative ideas and stimulating discussions and debates. It showcases Sydney as a major creative hub in the Asia-Pacific Region and celebrates the diversity of Sydney’s creative industries.

The Creative Catalyst lists is a list of 100 inspirational and innovative Sydneysiders who have made a unique contribution to the city’s creative culture, and was compiled as a side project of Creative Sydney – one of the four events that comprise of the Vivid Sydney festival.
Cultural commentator Marcus Westbury was the instigator of the Creative Catalyst project, “The Creative Catalysts list shows that Sydney is a city full of amazing stories of inspiring creativity. It’s not about Sydney’s most influential people or the people with the best arts jobs or the people in the biggest
institutions.
“It’s about people who have taken the initiative to make a creative Sydney. Some of them are well known and obvious, others have simply inspired others in their field or changed the way Sydney does things or sees itself. By highlighting their stories we celebrate their creativity and hope to inspire others to see their city as a place they too can shape and change”
The Creative Catalysts for 2009 were selected from a list of over 700 people, suggested by a range of industry advisors– creative leaders and people who have expertise in various fields – as well a call out through social media outlets. The result is subjective and intended to encourage debate.”
