About The Quarry Arts Centre
Nestled into the bush clad Western Hills Drive is a little piece of paradise, a haven nurturing the creative spirit know as The Quarry Art Centre.
Open to the public 7 days a week, The Quarry Arts Centre (TQAC) and Yvonne Rust Gallery is only 5 minutes walk to the city but you feel as though your miles away. As well as public being able to wander around and see what our resident artists are up to, we run a variety of courses throughout the year for adults and kids.
There is a co-op shop to purchase quality arts and crafts at affordable prices and a coffee shop on site. We sell art supplies(including clay) in the NCT office from Mon- Fri. TQAC is the perfect place to come and get away from the hustle and bustle and get some artistic inspiration while you’re here.
The Quarry Arts Centre is a community based arts organisation with a long history of successful artist development, best practice and a focus on equity and participation.
