Schoolhouse Studios (SHS) provide affordable workspaces for artists across diverse media, methods and contexts enabling them to focus, co-exist, interact, collaborate and learn.

It is for the artists, the community and for you.

We are relocating to a new site on Rupert St, in Collingwood and we need to raise funds for the interior build.

SHS needs $100,000, and we are turning to the community to help us raise the first $50,000.

SUPPORT SCHOOLHOUSE STUDIOS

· Melbourne’s emerging artists and innovators need our support; they need affordable workspaces and studios close to the city, where their work is accessible to the public and to public comment.

· For Melbourne to maintain its title as the Cultural Capital of Australia it needs to support and provide affordable work spaces for its emerging and mid career artists.

· We need to cultivate inner city cultural diversity and help resist blanket gentrification of Collingwood by supporting communities like Schoolhouse Studios.

· The plans for the new site have been designed specifically to cater for the needs of the resident artists and the operation of the public event spaces.

· The new site will include a public precinct with café, gallery, event space and play area for ongoing engagement and interaction with the wider community.
