“Having a space allows me to mingle and converse with like minded individuals going through many of the same challenges and triumphs I am.
As freelance work can be extremely volatile it's nice to know that I can leave the studio when I need to.”
Lesley Vamos

“I just thought: ‘this is fabulous!'. Art shouldn't be hidden. I think people are all individuals and have different ways of approaching art. With the tuition, I teach them the skills of how to develop, not what to create…”

The entrepreneurial opportunities of the project means long term benefit for my business in terms of refining my business plan, marketing skills gained and audience development..”
Anna Watts, visual artist
