APPLY FOR A STUDIO

M16 Artspace has 28 non-residential studios available for rent by visual artists and creative practitioners working in related fields. Studios range in size from 6 to 60 square metres and are designed to accommodate a variety of art practices. All studios have 24/7 access. 

M16 Artspace operates out of the former Griffith Library, which was converted into gallery, studio, and workshop spaces in the early 2000s. As one of Canberra’s few long-term studio providers, we recognise the importance of stable and consistent studio access for creative practitioners at all levels. 

Each studio suits different practices, so please consider your needs and requirements when applying. 

M16 Artspace cannot indicate when studios will become available, as this depends in part on the departure of current studio artists. When a studio becomes available, a general callout is issued and all new applications are considered alongside those on file. 

All visual artists and creative practitioners working in related fields are encouraged to apply. 

Please see below for the latest updates on studio availability. Subscribe to our mailing list and follow us on social media to stay informed about studio callouts. 

General Info

All studios include 24-hour access, giving you the flexibility to work on your creative practice whenever it suits you.

*Please note: studio rent increases annually by 3.5% or in line with CPI.
