Our impact

The White Room offers 16 art sessions weekly, from Monday to Saturday, with over 60 artists attending each week.   

Beyond the studio space, artists are supported to share their work through participating in exhibitions, public art events, and selling their work at a variety of community activities and spaces. 

‘Nothing about us without us’ is the value that underscores our work at The White Room. Each artist has unique creative goals, and our facilitators, most of whom are artists themselves, work alongside them to bring these to life. Artists are encouraged to experiment and find the best mediums to express their views, feelings and aspirations.   

When asked about what they are wanting from The White Room, artists had this to say:  

“I need a place to do my thing, so I can create, express myself and help me understand my place in the world.” 

“I need a place where I can be myself and not be restricted by labels and limitations often imposed on me.”

“I want to connect with others because it helps me feel I belong, reduces isolation and enables opportunities.” 

“I want support to produce and share my work because it gives me a sense of purpose, a sense of achievement, the possibility to generate income and be seen as an artist.”
