Wear It Purple Day: 28 August 2026
We're proud to support Wear It Purple and its mission to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow young people.
Throughout the upper ground floor on Friday 28 August, you'll find a display of images and reflections from Youth Advisory Council leaders celebrating their stories, voices and contributions.
And while you're in the precinct, be sure to stop by Muru Giligu, which will be illuminated purple throughout the day.
RUOK? Day 10 September 2026
Coffee with a Friend for R U OK? Day. On Thursday 10 September, enjoy 2-for-1 coffee at participating retailers* at 1 Elizabeth when you bring a friend or colleague and use the code word "R U OK?"
A simple conversation can make a real difference. You don't need to have all the answers. Taking the time to listen and show you care could be exactly what someone needs.
Available from store opening until sold out, at participating retailers. You will be charged for the more expensive of the two coffees.
*Participating retailers: Sneaker Laundry, Petit Loulou, Dutch Smuggler, Brooklyn Bridge Deli, Industry Beans and The Gardens.

Capsule Gallery: From 15 April 2026
Dennis Golding is an artist born and raised on Gadigal Country, with ancestral ties to Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay Country (north-west NSW) and Biripi Country (mid-north coast NSW). His practice examines representations of race and identity, drawing on his upbringing across Gadigal and Bidjigal countries and the inner-Sydney Aboriginal community of Redfern. He works across painting, sculpture, video, photography and installation.
He has exhibited at the Art Gallery of South Australia, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Museum of History NSW and Carriageworks, and his work features in public art installations across Sydney.
Golding is currently participating in the 25th Biennale of Sydney: REMEMORY, and exhibiting On the Foreshore, a community mural project with the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and Bayside Council.
The Capsule Gallery is located on the B3 retail concourse of 1 Elizabeth, just steps from the Muru Giligu tunnel.
All works in the exhibition are available for purchase for a limited time.
