Come make art.

Want to come make art with us?

The White Room Creative Space follows an Open Studio model meaning we provide the space, materials, and some expertise to support you to experiment, play, and develop your self-directed art practice.

To book in, follow these steps:

  1. Book a session by selecting a time slot in the below booking calendar. The day is broken into two sessions of 4 hours. You may come for as long as you wish within the session you booked in for.

  2. You will be prompted to fill out a ‘request to join’ form. Fill this in. If you need help, we can support you to fill this in during your first session.

  3. Turn up for your session. Have a look at our Staff page so you know who to approach when you come in for your first session. Our staff will give you a tour and go through how the studio space works with you.

  4. Pay for your session via our onsite EFTPOS terminal or alternatively through internet banking. We want our space to be as accessible as possible while still covering the costs of materials and activities. With that in mind, we have a recommended per session fee of $15 minimum. If you are able and keen to pay more to support the space, we won’t say no.

  5. Let us know if you would like to set up a payment plan.

Things to note ahead of your session:

  • We have sketchbooks available to buy for $15.

  • Canvases are also available to buy, with prices depending on size. Alternatively you can bring your own canvas with you.

  • We have a wide selection of art materials that are included in your session fee, and our tutors have a wide knowledge of basic art skills to help you. If you are interested in techniques beyond our skillset, we will do our best to point you in the right direction.

  • We have an outreach programme where we provide opportunities to collaborate with other community groups on various projects. We also stage regular exhibitions. If you are interested in participating in these sorts of activities, speak with us.

  • If you would like to visit The White Room to find out more before booking, just let us know and we can organise a time for you to visit.
