We are near the roundabout at Koornang and Leila Roads. There is plenty of street parking. The 626 Bus is at our door. The 625 Bus is around the corner. Further away is the 630 Bus on North Road, the 67 Tram, and Carnegie Railway Station.
The artists running Art Lark have skills to share in monoprinting, geli printing, linocuts, etching, drawing, and pastels, and have connections with other artists and musicians to develop other interesting course offerings. Our aim is to build our local creative community. We encourage local artists and crafters to contact us regarding our affordable venue hire to run classes in our bespoke facility.
Start with a messy background of colour, then learn how to use negative space to reveal the stunning design hidden in the chaos!
