Waverley Woollahra Arts
Centre -
Providing arts and crafts to
the community since 1968
www.wwac.org.au
Waverley Woollahra Arts
Centre Co-Op Ltd ("WWAC") is
an independent non-profit
community arts centre. Our
purpose is to provide
vocational as well as
recreational skills-training
in all facets of arts and
crafts practice.
All courses are conducted by
qualified artists and
crafts-people with
particular emphasis on
providing high standards of
tuition in a relaxed and
friendly atmosphere. The
courses are all based on a
practical "hands-on"
approach and class sizes are
kept to a maximum of fifteen
students which enables the
tutors to better tailor the
courses to meet the
individual students' needs
and abilities.
Courses are open to everyone
and no previous experience
or knowledge of a subject is
required except where
stated.
Apart from the Arts
Education operations, the
Centre runs a number of
Community programs:
-
School Holiday Programs
for Children;
-
The annual Waverley Art
Prize;
-
Tutor and Student
exhibitions,
annually.
The centre is primarily
self-funding, with a small
percentage of its operating
budget being provided by
Waverley Council and
Woollahra Council. This
support is vital for the
Centre to be able to
maintain the diversity of
education services it can
provide to the community.
WWAC gratefully acknowledges
the assistance of these
organisations.
