Why locals recommend it
The workplace and home of late Australian avant-garde artist Brett Whiteley, this space is preserved as it was when Whiteley died, and visiting is a great way to connect with the way art is made. It’s like visiting a working studio, with his tubes of paint, unfinished paintings, art equipment, and collections of reference books lying around. March through November, the studio holds poetry readings on the first Sunday of every month, as well as hourlong classical music recitals on the third Sunday of every month. They’re free, and you don’t need to book for either—you can just show up at the studio.
