100 Braid St Studios is a co-working space for 16 artists. We host fun Paint & Sip Events, fine art classes, and our gallery/workshop area serves as a small meeting, business conference and wedding & events venue.
Studio artists are diverse in medias such as, textile & fibre art, jewellery making, painting, encaustics, paper mache, photography, stained glass and mixed media.
Everything we do fosters creativity:
1. We provide co-working space for emerging and professional artists (artists learn and support one another), participate in collaborative activities and shows.
2. We provide artists within the studio and in the community with a professional development lecture series designed to inspire creatives of all kinds.
3. We provide exposure for artists in the space in a non-traditional way to a cross section of the local community, the business sector, and tourists.
4. We provide paint events that focus on the fun and social aspects of getting together in a casual, relaxed and supportive environment. All of our teachers are professional artists who encourage self-expression, teach techniques and support guests to try out their own style.
5. We provide fine art classes by professional artists that cover painting techniques, colour theory and artistic exploration.
6. We provide social, bonding and team building paint events that support a company or business to build trust between its members. Art activities encourage thinking about things in a different way and coming up with creative solutions which thereby open up new paths of communication.
7. We provide space for local non-profits, businesses and corporations to hold events in a creative and inspiring environment.
8. We provide space for all kinds of celebratory events from couples who are starting their life journey together to end of life celebrations. Our Studio allows everyone who uses it the opportunity to express the connection that art and creativity have in their lives and to create a unique event that reflects the essence of who they are and the values they hold.
