Explore the studios of the artists, designers and creative businesses who work inside Phoenix Art Space. The building is currently home to 120 professional artists at all stages of their careers including painters, photographers, filmmakers and designers. Learn about their practices, processes and ideas and gain insight into the surroundings that serve to support and inspire them.

Families with children are invited to participate in an artistic treasure trail, that takes you around the studios for clues. This year’s Family Trail has been designed by Lucky Frog Studio and Christina Ure. Visitors also have the opportunity to browse and buy original artworks and items direct from makers. Visit Canvas Coffee Co. for tasty food and refreshments.

Exhibitions in the Main Gallery, Window Gallery and Project Space on the ground floor will be open all weekend.
