Creative Studios, Spaces and Residencies in North Sydney

North Sydney Council supports creative practitioners by providing access to dedicated studio spaces across the local government area. The program is part of Council’s commitment to increasing the number of places and spaces available for cultural participation and creative production.

Council supports up to 11 creative practitioners annually across three key creative hubs:

• Primrose Park Artists' Studios, Cremorne
• Coal Loader Artist's Studio, Waverton
• Alfred Street Artists' Studios, Milsons Point

Each creative hub has its own distinct character, and facilities with spaces suitable for a broad range of creative practices including visual arts, writing, design, curation, new technologies, digital media, performance, and more.

Creative practitioners benefit from:

• A program that values and supports diverse creative practices
• A dedicated, partially subsidised studio space for 12 months
• Paid opportunities to share their work with the community for example, through artist talks, panels and presentations
• Access to a Council funded, structured professional development program that may include, skills sessions, professional headshots, structured visiting artist or curator programs and support in planning and delivering public programs
• Opportunity to develop work and contribute to the creative life of North Sydney

Applications for the 2026 program are now closed.
