Woden Arts
The Woden Arts program showcases artistic practice which engages and collaborates with the community to activate locations in the suburbs of Woden (Chifley, Curtin, Farrer, Garran, Hughes, Isaacs, Lyons, Mawson, O’Malley, Pearce, Phillip, Torrens)
Activities include two regular art classes held at Woden Library (Chat and Make Art – multicultural women’s art group and Art Play – art for curious adults); a Woden public art trail, community neighbourhood days, and various pop-ups offering creative experiences for the local community. Keep an eye on this space for events in Woden.
Southside Artists Register
Woden Arts wants to support Southside artists – and to do that, we need to know who you are! Please register below.
Join our Southside Artists Register – a list of artists across all art forms – musicians, visual artists, writers, performers and more.
We will use the register to share information about opportunities for artists through the Woden Arts Program, and to identify suitable artists to perform at events, participate in exhibitions, deliver workshops or be involved in other arts activities.
