Central Coast Council is on the lookout for artists to connect with the community through creative workshops, talks, collaborations with other artists and installations throughout 2025-26 at the popular Gallery Container located in Toukley Village Green.
Creative individuals, groups and collectives are urged to express their interest by May 26.
In previous years, workshops and installations have offered a variety of activities from painting, sculpture and drawing to knitting, stained glass, creative writing, wet felting, upcycled jewellery, watercolour, pottery, patchwork, candle, silver craft and more.
The space will need to be open for a minimum of four days per week for a minimum of four hours per day and will be available for use in 2025-26 in the following blocks: July 1-September 12, 2025; September 15-November 28, 2025; January 12-March 27, 2026; and March 30-June 26, 2026.
Creative Spaces is designed to foster and develop creatives, makers and artists through the use of Council-owned places and spaces in creative ways.
The Gallery Container is available for the creative community to make, create, connect and activate the space including exhibitions, installations, workshops, creative demonstrations, artist talks and so on.
The program is also intended to increase visitations to the Toukley town centre for the benefit of our local businesses.
The converted 12m shipping container is decked out as a gallery, workshop and office space which is suitable for exhibitions, workshops and interactive community engagement.
Electricity is available, but there is no access to water within the container.
Council provides the space and all associated equipment including electricity, promotional support, funding support of $5,000 per block and maintenance to successful artists.
To submit an expression of interest, complete the online form by searching ‘creative spaces’ at www.centralcoast.nsw.gov.au by May 26.
