The Drying Shed

THE DRYING SHED ARTIST SPACE (DSAS) occupies an area within The Mill complex in Castlemaine, Victoria. DSAS is an evolving and vibrant creative space displaying the artists’ diverse artworks, and where regular featured exhibitions are held. You can see the artists at work in the studio spaces and they love to discuss their artwork with visitors.

The artists share the running of the space with a collective and collaborative approach.

DSAS conducts regular workshops, showcasing the expertise of the artists, to encourage the artistic passion in all of us.
