Creative Spaces 2024-25

The Central Coast boasts a vibrant community of talented makers and creators

And, it's for this reason Creative Spaces was born. Designed to foster innovation and creativity, the gallery container at Toukley Village Green will provide an exciting space for selected artists to exhibit and connect with the community through creative workshops, talks, collaborations with other artists and installations throughout the year.
