ART JAM @ CBFAC

Tuesday 4 August - Sunday 13 September

Due to popular demand, Art Jam is back again at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre in 2026 running from 4 August to 13 September.

Art Jam moves away from the traditional quiet gallery space concept to a combined studio and gallery idea which enables the communty to engage with the artists whose works are on the walls.

Artists are invited to hire studio spaces in the gallery, set up a display of their works, whether that be paintings, ceramics and sculptures and then work in the space during gallery hours. Visitors can talk to the artist and understand their practice.

This year’s Art Jam takes place during a temperate time of the year and coincides with our inaugural Winter School of Art (pARTicipate). It’s sure to be a busy time with lots of activities taking place.
