The multi-purpose resource centre based in the capital includes studios, accommodation for artists in residence, a contemporary art library, computers and editing suites, meeting areas and outdoor workshop space. The programme offers artists in residence and members one-on-one drop-in sessions for critique and professional development, workshops for practical skills and their regular discussion series - Artachat - for social engagement.
