Welcome to Canberra Art Workshop

Drop in and Draw!
You are most welcome to join us at the Canberra Art Workshop studio.
Come along to join other artists (from beginners to professionals) in art workgroups in our comfortable new premises in the leafy southern Canberra suburb of Griffith.
Just ring our contact number to find out about our workgroups and how to reach the artist convenors who’ll make you welcome.
Canberra Art Workshop is a thriving open-studio centre for the arts at 21 Blaxland Crescent, Griffith, in the M16 Artspace.
Find us on Blaxland Crescent behind the Griffith shops and close to the shops of Manuka.
You can join our workgroups in life drawing, pastel, watercolour, portraiture, printmaking and other subjects – all 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 workgroups meet for three-hour sessions once a week in the studio – just ring our inquiries number to find out which workgroups have room for new members and who you need to contact.
Members are of all age groups and occupations – from students to retirees and full time employees. We’re a friendly crowd and practise at all levels – from learners to emerging and professional artists.
Canberra Art Workshop members also run paint-away events (some have been 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 has a history of staging exhibitions and group shows for members.
Canberra Art Workshop is a non-profit body. We’re self-funded and owned and operated by our artist-members.
