Looking for a third space to create? Nia Centre is piloting their Creative Hub initiative.

Creative Hub is designed specifically for young creatives to access the exclusive spaces at Nia Centre to gain a dynamic and communual learning environment, nurture their creativity, facilitate resource access and peer to peer knowledge exchange.

Through the three different streams; Open Studio, Skills Labs, and Community Conversations, Creative Hub will provide young creatives with resources, connections and support in the pursuit of accomplishing their creative goals.
