'Forces of Nature' exhibition and Open Day

---

We are a community art and craft facility in the North Sydney Municipality. Significantly refurbished by North Sydney Council in 2019, the facility now has a lift, display galleries, audio-visual equipment, a photographic darkroom, a large workspace area, a kitchenette, and more - ideal for pursuing our artistic endeavours.

In 1899, the location became the first North Sydney sewerage works, which closed in 1926. The North Sydney Council refurbished the facility into an art, craft and sports precinct in 1991, and it was significantly renovated in 2019.

The Centre is here for you. We work hard to be a resource for our community. Currently, we have six art & craft groups utilising the Centre;

Artists, basketry, calligraphy, paper making, photography, and textiles: Would you like to join an existing group? Perhaps you can introduce a new art or craft group activity?
