ABOUT US
CANBERRA ART WORKSHOP
ABN: 41396335326
Canberra Art Workshop is a thriving studio centre for the arts in the M16 Artspace. We welcome all artists, from complete beginners to practising professionals. You’ll find a group that’s right for you — life drawing, pastel, watercolour , portraiture, printmaking, and others — all run in Canberra Art Workshop’s studio. As well as the self-directed Art Groups, we also provide weekend Workshops and Courses, group shows, and exhibitions.
The Canberra Art Workshop is a not-for-profit community organisation and a registered charity. We are self-funded, owned and operated by our members. We are governed by a volunteer board and all our activities are managed by many volunteer members. These include Art group convenors, communications and events team members, a website team and an exhibitions team.
