Wyreena Community Arts Centre

Welcome to Wyreena Community Arts Centre, located in the charming suburb of Croydon, Australia. Our institution is housed in historic buildings and surrounded by elegant gardens, creating a picturesque setting for art enthusiasts and visitors alike.

As an art gallery, cafe, and establishment, Wyreena offers a unique blend of art, culture, and culinary delights. Our classic English-style glass conservatory operates as a cozy cafe, where you can indulge in delicious food and beverages while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Adjacent to the cafe is the Arts Lounge, a vibrant exhibition space and meeting place where you can immerse yourself in captivating artwork and savor a cup of coffee in a comfortable and inviting environment.

At Wyreena, we believe in fostering creativity and community engagement. That's why we offer a wide range of art and craft classes for both adults and children. Whether you're interested in painting, drawing, pottery, sculpture, mosaics, or relaxation classes, we have something to inspire and nurture your artistic side. Our term-based courses cater to different skill levels and provide a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

We also host a School Holiday Program during the Easter, Winter, and September school holidays, providing a fun and educational experience for children. Additionally, Wyreena is proud to showcase some of Victoria's most talented artists every month on a Friday in the Conservatory Cafe, where you can enjoy live music performances.

Situated on 4 acres of beautiful established gardens, Wyreena offers more than just art and food. Our institution features a children's adventure playground, allowing families to unwind and enjoy nature's beauty. Moreover, we take pride in the rich history and development of the Wyreena Community Centre since the 1920s, and we invite you to explore and learn about our heritage.

The Arts Lounge at Wyreena serves as a vibrant art space for local and visiting artists to exhibit their work, providing a platform for creativity and expression. We believe in nurturing and supporting artists in our community, and the Arts Lounge is a testament to our commitment.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land where Wyreena is located. We recognize and respect their deep spiritual connection to the land and their role as caretakers. In the spirit of Reconciliation, we honor their Elders, both past and present.
