The Northern Beaches’ newest creative space will open soon for business in the heart of Avalon. An Open Weekend for the new facility will take place on 6 – 7 March between 10am-3pm.
The lower ground level of the Avalon Golf Club has been transformed into two multi-use workshops, a studio and a communal kitchen, providing a low-key local creative space for Avalon and surrounding suburbs.
Mayor Michael Regan said the Avalon Workshop is a creative space for the whole community and is available to hire for workshops, studio practice, artistic collaborations, arts activations and talks.
“The Workshop will support the creative sector and will help young and emerging artists to connect and build relationships and networks.
“I have no doubt this fantastic, much-anticipated new art space will be very popular with local artists looking for a creative space to be inspired and motivated, and to engage with like-minded folk.
“Council is offering very affordable hiring fees to support artists and provide opportunities for them to develop their skills and generate income.”
The Avalon Workshop was the result of extensive community engagement that identified the need for connection with like-minded creatives as well as collaboration and mentoring opportunities, alongside purpose-designed, multifaceted and affordable creative spaces and places.
Artists and creatives can book spaces online.
