Environmentarian is thrilled to announce our application to the City of Sydney for the William Street Creative Hub, a unique opportunity to establish “Open Space” – a dynamic and inclusive hub for creatives, cultural workers, and small businesses.
What is Open Space?
Open Space is a vision years in the making, conceived a week ago, shaped by nearly three decades of experience managing and nurturing creative environments like Holland Studio and Cubby Space in Redfern. This new space will feature flexible work areas, short and mid-term sublets, and bookable rooms for private workshops, exhibitions and networking events. With sustainability at its core, Open Space will integrate biophilic design, showcasing greenery and natural elements to inspire and rejuvenate.
Why Support Open Space?
Sydney has experienced a significant loss of creative spaces, and Open Space is our chance to reverse this trend. By supporting our application, you are helping:
- Empower creativity: Provide affordable, high-quality spaces for artists and small businesses.
- Foster inclusivity: Engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, culturally diverse creatives, and people with disabilities.
- Promote sustainability: Operate on a carbon-neutral server, eliminate single-use items, and offset energy with GreenPower.
- Strengthen the community: Create a vibrant ecosystem where people connect, collaborate, and thrive.
