LCAD offers an intimate setting to explore your creativity. Our stuio based facilities have been designed to maximise one on one tutoring while providing creative flexibility for students. Our staff deliver a specialised combination of theory and practical skills that encourage our students to be creative, innovative and to think independently. Our studio warehouse provides a combination of open, collaborative spaces and discrete, private spaces in order for students to tailor their learning experience.

Studio Spaces

Within the college in Collingwood, students have access to and work in large, fully equipped, light-filled studio and classroom spaces. These include spaces and facilities set up for painting, drawing, sculpture, photography - lighting studio, and darkroom, design - computer lab, tool workshops, lecture rooms, common room, large gallery space, and individual studio spaces for second-year visual art students.

 

Individual studio spaces

All Advanced Diploma of Visual Arts students are given permanent, individual studio spaces to work in for the duration of their studies. Located on our first floor, each space is generously equiped with a range of materials and facilities that allow students to focus on the development of their oeuvre.

Gallery

The central gallery space at LCAD provides students with the ideal environment to present and discuss their work to teaching staff and peers. Designed to simulate a real world gallery, the generous space allows students to develop innovative modes of presentation, deliver floor talks and lectures and learn about then relationships between the social, political and architectural contexts surrounding their work.
