Parking

We have free on-street parking spaces on 17th Avenue.  Workshop tutors can arrange with the team to get access for packing and unpacking gear.

Wall murals

We pride ourselves on being a vibrant, colourful and creative hub so it was important to us to make our spaces reflect the same values! It was our mission to connect with local artists to bring bold and bright colours into our spaces and that is exactly what they have done!
