Art at
Maker

Then and now, old and new, exhibitions, happenings and experiments; creativity never dies. Maker and art, it’s a history.


Art at Maker Heights

Since the early 1990’s Maker Heights has been home to a wide variety of visual artists, sculptors, print-makers, photographers, filmmakers, artisans and ceramicists.

Maker has hosted a huge number of exhibitions, galleries and community art projects over the years. Occupying studio spaces within our historic Barrack Block and Nissen Hut complex, we have worked with up and coming artists as well as those of international standing.

We continue to actively build on this legacy. Garrison Gallery hosts regular exhibitions of Maker artists alongside early career artists and collectives.
