This week Colour Box Studio will be a part of the Open Studios in the West program. Over the weekend of 24th & 25th of November, over 42 studios will open their doors to the public. We are happy to be one of them, and we’ll be open both days from 10-6pm. Come down and say hi then continue on to some other studios – there is a huge creative community here in Footscray!
We have lots of exciting things in store at the Pop Up Shop for those wanting to have a look, shop or participate in our Workshops Program. Also, many of our artists are re-stocking so there will be some new things in the shop.
