Our Ticketed Event Fees: Fair, Transparent, and Artist-Focused

At Drawing Etc. Creative Space, our ticketed workshops will continue to run with a strong commitment to supporting the arts community. While we are a largely non-profit initiative, with various free events and exhibition calls regularly, this doesn't mean all programs will be free. Our primary goal is to ensure that both emerging and established artists who lead our workshops are paid fairly for their time, skills and effort, while maintaining a sustainable platform for continuity.

The fees you pay go directly towards:

  • Fair compensation for our instructors, ensuring artists are rewarded for sharing their expertise and skills.
  • Creating income and opportunities for artists, allowing them to engage with the community while gaining exposure and professional growth.
  • Covering essential materials, venue and operational costs, providing a high-quality, well-equipped learning environment.

Our workshop fees are on par with, or often lower than, those of equivalent programs, ensuring accessibility while upholding our standards. Although some events, such as free shows and community activities, are complimentary, the information above specifically applies to our ticketed events.

Your support helps us to continuously provide these artist-led initiatives and platform for the local arts community.
