                    The Creative Spaces website is the leading national resource for connecting artists and creative practitioners with spaces. It was first launched in 2008 in partnership with the RMIT Design Research Institute and Creative Victoria. Since then, the website has built an enormous rapport within the creative community as the central location for listing and searching for creative spaces. In 2023, a highly improved website was launched in partnership with the Melbourne Creative Revitalisation Fund. 

                    The website features a searchable database for creative spaces across Australia, enabling creative practitioners of all disciplines to easily access suitable venues and spaces for creative work. It also assists venue managers and owners to promote their spaces directly to the people who need them.

                     Find or list your next creative space for free on the Creative Spaces website.​
