Square One Studios is a creative platform for the visual arts and contemporary culture based in inner-city Sydney. It
started over nine years ago, in a large cardboard folding factory in Erskineville. Since those days it had moved to Alexandria, into a mixed use industrial complex. The space has over 850 square metres and houses over 40 studios.
Studio features:
- Centrally located in Alexandria, in the inner west of Sydney
- On a bike path connecting to the Bourke Street Cycleway
- A short walk to Green Square Station
- Close to the creative hub and cafes of McEvoy Street
- Generous on-site parking available
- AC, WIFI, amenities

WITHIN A PROFESSIONAL CREATIVE ART STUDIO COMPLEX IN THE HEART OF ALEXANDRIA
A MODERN SECURE FIRST FLOOR SPACE CLOSE TO GREEN SQUARE STATION, THE SYDNEY ART STORE, HARDWARE SHOPS, ART GALLERIES AND CAFES
The studios have a shared kitchen, WiFi, AC and generous on-site parking. It is close to bus and on bike routes, 8-minute drive to the CBD, 5-minute walk to Green Square Station. The price includes power, water, WiFi and GST.
We are proud to have a very broad mix of occupants including sculptors, painters, installation artists, product designers, photographers, ceramic artists, and writers. We are also the home of TACA, The Australia Ceramics Association.
There are four publications produced in-house, The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Art Monthly Australasia, Art Almanac and Artist Profile Magazine.
As we do not rely on funding assistance or grants, we must therefore be self sufficient and depend on our tenants. We provide a varied service to our artists. The studios are clean, quiet and secure. There is plenty of advice and expertise at hand, and opportunities to exhibit.
We have become a destination for gallerists and curators.
Square One Studios is now a dynamic creative hub because of our strong mix of tenants.
