Centrehouse is a not-for-profit community art centre on the North Shore. We run term classes, weekend workshops and awards for children and adults. Classes include printmaking, painting, drawing, resin jewellery, crafts, languages and wellbeing.

Centrehouse's list of classes during the term include, watercolour, abstract painting, mixed media, painting and drawing, printmaking and resin jewellery, spanish french and mandarin, yoga, bellydancing and meditation.

Centrehouse also invites visiting artists to hold special workshops in basket making, bookbinding, calligraphy, jewellery, portraiture, landscape and more.

For the younger creatives, we offer kids art classes after school and pottery workshops during the school holidays. Committed to nurturing and supporting arts and culture, Centrehouse manages the Lloyd Rees Memorial Youth Art Awards. This Biannual Award is for emerging artists in painting, drawing and printmaking, with prizes worth over $7,000.

The Eve Vonwiller Youth Art Award is for primary and high school students with lots of art materials up for grabs. This exhibition is held annually and is a great showcase for the work going on in our schools and beyond.

Centrehouse will be managing a new gallery space for local and regional artists to exhibit their work. This space is located in the centre of town in Lane Cove and is due to open at the end of 2011. Artists are invited to exhibit and applications will be taken annually. It is a large contemporary space that can broken into smaller spaces for some exciting installations and shows.
