STUDIO-BASED TEACHING & CRITS
Art Programme (AP) runs studio intensives and studio crits for experienced artists (post-bachelors or equivalency). The intensives are facilitated by fellow artists with successful, local and international exhibition practices that span the full range of methods and materials, bolsted by extensive studio teaching experiences.
A focus of AP studio tuition is to establish supportive and collegial studio crit sessions, in line with our aim to build strong community connections.
Our studio pracs provide valuable environments to either deepen an existing practice, or to rethink or relaunch a new direction, method or medium.

The sculpture operates on various levels in response to its siting on Wurundjeri Country within the Edinburgh Gardens.
Its primary operation subverts and inverts the colonial history and associated power of its ‘base,’ including that of the gardens, which continue to operate as a vestige of the site (and broader Narrm’s) colonial layers.
It articulates First People’s identity, resilience, strength, self-determination and connection to the area as supported via the work’s discrete aesthetic elements.
