Art Mania Studio

Welcome to Art Mania Studio, located at 12 Council Street in Wallsend, Australia. As an establishment, point of interest, and store, we are dedicated to bringing people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities together for a creative experience like no other.

At Art Mania Studio, we love supporting you on your journey to explore your creative side. Our friendly teachers, who are practicing artists themselves, are passionate about sharing their experience and knowledge to help you develop your creative skills. We offer a wide range of classes, and we encourage you to keep an eye on our webpage for any additional classes that may come up.

If you are a returning friend, we invite you to come and see our new studio and upgraded ceramics studios. And if you are a friend we haven't met yet, we can't wait to see you and welcome you into our creative community.

We offer various services to enhance your experience at Art Mania Studio. Whether you're looking to host a party or celebration, our team can turn it into the most fabulous creative party you've ever been to. We also offer Stay and Create getaways, which are supported weekenders designed especially for people with disabilities.

At Art Mania Studio, we believe in making quality arts experiences accessible to the whole community. That's why we have created ART REACH: Art Mania Studio's Outreach Program. Through this program, we aim to make art accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities to visit the studio.

If you don't want to miss out on any of our offerings, we invite you to become a member of Club Mania. As a member, you'll enjoy early class offers, discounts, and other perks such as guest artist presentations and online resources. If you register your interest in August 2023 and sign up for 12 months, you'll get the first month free.

For those who prefer drop-in art making experiences, our Drop-In Saturdays are perfect for you. Suited to teens, children, families, and anyone seeking convenience, you can arrive and leave anytime between 10am and 12noon. Each week, we'll have new project ideas with step-by-step instructions. Connect with fellow artists, enjoy a coffee and biscuit on us, and have some Saturday fun creating and connecting. Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

At Art Mania Studio, we embrace diversity and inclusivity. We believe in wearing the label of inclusivity proudly every day, not just as a marketing term. Our commitment to inclusivity is reflected in our featured artists, including Charmaine Lehman, Gini Mac, Mungi Lock, and Sandy Lee. We celebrate NAIDOC Week 2023 by encouraging Indigenous artists within our community to speak up and share their unique perspectives.

Did you know that mosaics go beyond beautiful patterns on walls and floors? At Art Mania Studio, we explore the whole other dimension of mosaics. Join us to discover the endless possibilities and creativity of this art form.

If you're struggling with painting in the hot weather, we have expert tips and techniques to help you mitigate the effects of the heat. Check out our resources to make your painting experience more enjoyable.

We would like to acknowledge the Awabakal People, the traditional custodians of the land on which Art Mania Studio stands. We pay our respects to elders past, present, and future. We recognize that art is an important method of communication for Indigenous Australians, and we strive to show our respect through our art.

Just like Baiame, the creator spirit of the Hunter Region, Art Mania Studios is an inclusive place that welcomes all to create. Baiame is depicted with no mouth, symbolizing his silence and lack of comments. His outstretched limbs and animal-like features represent his connection to all that he sees. We embrace this inclusive spirit and invite you to join us at Art Mania Studio for a truly unique creative experience.
