Sydney is a big city with a surprisingly close-knit creative community. Between the design studios in Surry Hills, the art spaces in Marrickville and the agencies scattered across the CBD, there's a lot of talent concentrated in a fairly small part of the world.
The scene here is active and outward-looking, and if you put yourself out there, you'll find that people are genuinely interested in connecting.

Whether you're a designer, illustrator, filmmaker, or working in any creative field, this guide will help you find your people in the city. From casual meetups to vibrant community events,
Sydney
offers countless opportunities to connect, collaborate, and get inspired.
Creative Lunch Club is a global community for people working in the creative industries. Whether you are a graphic designer, a photographer, a marketer, or a filmmaker, the Creative Lunch Club gives you the chance to regularly meet other creatives in your city for lunch.
The Design Kids is a global community for emerging designers, with city meetups, interviews, jobs, and practical resources to help you build your folio and grow your career.
Running a service-based creative business is a lonely journey. Since joining Creative Lunch Club, I've developed meaningful connections with amazing creatives across photography, UX, marketing and more. Bonding with others in the creative industry has been incredibly insightful, not only for inspiration and ideas, but also reminding me why I love being a creative storyteller.
Thanks for running such a great community! I'm so glad I took a chance and tried this for the first time, and I can't wait for the next month to roll around. Excited to see this network grow!
I love Creative Lunch Club because it harnesses the most human way of connecting, sharing a meal. It's an effortless way for creatives to build diverse connections and friendships across various fields and meet people they wouldn't otherwise.
