Is there any charge to create a listing?

The site is free to use. The Creative Spaces website is funded through a partnership between the City of Melbourne and Arts Victoria to serve the creative industries across Victoria. In keeping with this, listings are moderated to ensure they fit the needs of the community.

How do I create a listing?

Click on the 'List a Space' button in the top bar.
If you have never used the site before, click on the ‘Create user account’ button to sign up - it's quick and easy.
Provide information about your space:
     name and description
     what the space is used for
     any accessibility information
    images of the space.
Submit your listing for approval.
You will be notified by email when your listing is approved.

How do I update my listing?

Click the ‘Login’ button in the top bar.
Enter your user name and password. If you have forgotten your password you can get it sent to you from this page.
Once logged in you will see a summary of your listings. Click the ‘Edit’ button next to the listing you want to change, then move through the pages as prompted, making adjustments.
When you are happy, save the listing.

How do I remove or hide my listing?

Listings for ‘Shared/Sublet’ and ‘For Lease’ spaces automatically expire after six weeks. You will be contacted by email when this occurs, and you can keep the listing active by following the link sent to you in that email.

If your gallery or venue has closed please contact us to let us know; we will deactivate your listing.
