Acknowledgement of Country

WOMINJEKA (Welcome)

We acknowledge the clans of the Eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we connect, create and work. We pay our respects to their land, ancestors and Elders: past, present and future. We value the wealth of knowledge, creative practice and connection to Country of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and continue to learn from the oldest living culture in the world.

98% of young people are born creative geniuses. Most lose it by fifteen. Not here.

A creative studio for young people. Real projects. Real practitioners. Real work.

What We Offer

Assembly runs term-based creative courses for young people aged 5 to 18, across drawing, printmaking, photography, design, sculpture and writing.

Students work alongside practitioners and build real skills over a full term.

Spring Holiday Intensive

One week. One discipline. One finished body of work.

These are examples of the courses we will be offering in 2027. Closer to 2027, the full course lineup and instructor details will be released.

Why Assembly?

We follow the school calendar. That is where the similarity ends.

This is not enrichment. It is training.

Ten students to a class. A full term with one discipline, taught by working practitioners: photographers, designers, printmakers, people who do this for a living.

Young people work on real projects. No marks. No scores. Just the work.

Every term ends in a public exhibition. The work is finished because it has to be hung.
