Meeting / Event / Sml Workshop space in Footscray
Space overview
Open to creatives who need a space to discuss projects, for talks, for writers, table readings, meetings — Let us know your ideas and we’ll do our best to accomodate your creative endeavours! At the moment, this will be available after standard work hours (5pm onwards) or weekends (all day).
The space can accomodate 20 or so people standing. You're welcome to bring more seating to have more people seated. The overall space is naturally lit with lovely morning light on one side of the building, and afternoon golden sun on the other side. The space is airy, plant-filled with touches of colour and art around the space. The workshop space has a large communal table and 6 x chairs that can be arranged to accommodate your needs. In the kitchenette we have gorgeous recycled plastic bench tops and shelves, a mini fridge, sink, kettle, Moccamaster, microwave, toaster and basic kitchen utensils. Additional amenities like cleaning supplies, private bathrooms and more.
Our space is in the very centre of Footscray, close to great food (Vietnamese, Ethiopian, sandwich shops, kebabs, Chinese, Malaysian, you name it). Our friends at Rudimentary around the corner serve up some of the best coffee and classic Melbourne breakfast goods.
The building is close to and walking distance from public transport; Footscray Station, trams, buses, with ample parking (free, but timed) around the surrounding streets. In addition, there's plenty of places nearby for groceries like Footscray Market.
