Artist Collective Studio

So….all of us raised in our childhood on films in the 1950s, be warned, our worst fantasies of sinking into quicksand are now resurrected.

The hiker said he thought the ground was solid before his leg sank into the muck, trapping him there until a rescue team arrived.

Studio space available!

If you are looking for a quiet space outside the home for your art/craft or related practice, the Artist Collective Studio space in Coleman might be for you. This space is best suited to a quiet practice in which ventilation is not needed for chemicals or dust (Pottery, woodworking etc would not be appropriate in this space).

Please DM with inquiries. 🙂

The Australian mining industry and their current practices

For far too long, mining companies have let their social and cultural heritage commitments slide. The inquiry report should be a wake-up call for the industry.

The recent discovery of Neanderthal paintings raises questions about the emergence of the status of artist in the history of humanity.

Hello 2019! The Artist Collective Studio is alive and well. Our core 4 artists are Nichole Yanota, Crystal Leach, Kari Lehr, and Tony Partridge. We have been hibernating in our studio space this winter, focused and ready for the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Our vision for the studio had shifted during 2018. With our energy being pulled more directly into our artwork, we lapsed in our offering of workshops and other events to our community. We have seen our lives grow busy with commitments and exhibitions, with apprenticeships and expansion and learning new mediums. There are plenty of other organizations in our community who have been diligently hosting wonderful creative events for people to participate in. We'll miss our workshop-hosting days - learning, playing and mingling with our friends and neighbours in the comfort of our own studio.

Thank you to all of you who joined in the fun over the past years. We will still be participating in the open studio days during the Artists Studio Tour. See you in Spring!
