About The Studio Program

The Studio Program is designed for anyone interested in exploring or rediscovering their creativity. Whether you're a complete beginner, returning to art after time away, or looking for regular studio practice, the program offers a welcoming and supportive environment.

The Studio Program begins at the Clifton School of Arts and will continue to grow through partnerships with other venues across the Northern Illawarra.

As the program develops, new workshops, artists, creative disciplines and events will provide opportunities to continue learning, making and connecting.

The Studio Program is presented in association with Clifton School of Arts, a home for the arts, learning and community in the Northern Illawarra since 1880.

This association matters to us. CSA is one of the region's most significant cultural organisations, managed entirely by volunteers and sustained by the generosity of its members and supporters. The Studio Program is proud to contribute to that community — bringing a new generation of participants through its doors and supporting the ongoing life of a place that has always believed in the importance of creativity.

The Studio Program is led by local artist and creative mentor Kate Coyne, whose practice spans contemporary art and creative development. Kate has a Master of Fine Art from the National Art School and brings many years of experience encouraging people to develop confidence through making and support to build both practical skills and lasting creative habits.
