Welcome to Canberra Art Workshop

Canberra Art Workshop is a thriving open-studio centre for the Arts in the industrial suburb of Fyshwick at the M16 Artspace in Mildura Street – a few minutes’ drive south of Canberra’s CBD and across the road from Canberra Railway Station.

Work groups in life drawing, pastel, watercolour, portraiture, printmaking and other subjects run in Canberra Art Workshop’s studio.

They keep our studio busy day and night … seven days a week.

These are FREE to members of Canberra Art Workshop (who share any costs and rental). Most work groups meet for three-hour sessions once a week in the studio – just ring our inquiries number to find out which work groups have room for new members and who you need to contact.

Members are of all age groups and occupations – from retirees to students and full time employees. We’re a friendly crowd and practice at all levels – from learners to emerging and professional artists.

Canberra Art Workshop members also run paint-away events (some attended by well-known artists, including Wynne and Archibald Prize finalists) in landscape locations in areas between the coast and the Snowy Mountains.

In addition, the Canberra Art Workshop stages major exhibitions in the M16 Artspace gallery for its members.

Canberra Art Workshop is self-funded and owned and operated by its artist-members.
