The Old Lockup

Space overview

A testing site for creative practice. A space for all artists to test, develop, create, perform and showcase their work. The Lock Up is down the road from Cotton Tree beach. With a coffee shop on site, this unusual, light space is an unexpected studio.

Lock yourself in a cell or take advantage of the larger, open plan room. While the walls cannot be painted over to preserve the graffiti created by inmates, you can hang things around the space.

Centrally located this space is near Ocean Street Maroochydore, the flexible space is walking distance to public transport, great nightlife and a beautiful view of the Maroochy river. You can create large scale works or spill outside into an undercover carport with steps, forming a small ampitheatre.
