For nearly three years, Mona Vale Creative Space has helped emerging and start-up creative businesses to showcase and sell their work.

Council is now seeking artists and designers interested in renting the space in 2024.

Located in the heart of Mona Vale village, the space is ideal for creatives looking for an affordable studio and pop-up retail space.

Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said the creative space connected artists and creatives with the community and was perfect for growing a business.

“Since we opened the space, the display of diverse art pieces and fashion have been positively received by the local community,” Mayor Heins said.

“We are very excited to see what other creatives can bring to the space and what amazing works they will showcase and sell.”

Creative brands who could benefit from the lockable studio space include fashion designers,  jewellery makers, designers, and ceramic artists.

Council offers affordable rent to help artists establish their creative practices.

The 4m x 8m area has the space for an estimated 16 people and includes a range of equipment and furniture including a storage unit, display cabinet, chairs, gallery lines, hooks, and hanging rail.

Also included are basic facilities such as a shared toilet/bathroom and a shared kitchen.

“Not many opportunities present themselves for creatives to showcase their works for a reasonable price, so now is your chance to unlock your creativity,” Mayor Heins said.

“This is a wonderful chance to grow your business and connect to locals in the area.”
