Cope St Closing

  • Woodburn Creatives 82 Cope Street Waterloo, NSW, 2017 Australia (map)

After 2 action packed years, our 2nd building at Cope st Waterloo will be wrapping up at the end of February.

While things have been thriving in the space, the owners have decided to move on their plans to turn this into their fashion house HQ. Even though we had hopes that we might squeeze some more time out of it, we were prepared to make the most of the minimum term. Such is the nature of the beast for affordable warehouse buildings in Sydney. 

This space has been such a great opportunity for us. In the time we’ve had it we’ve provided 33 artists, makers, producers and designers studios to work in. The event space has hosted 70 creative activations in the form of exhibitions, photo/film shoots, showcases, launches, workshops, fashion shows, screenings, panel talks, set and sculptural builds. It has also shown us not only our own potential but the potential of Sydney creatives when given the space to explore.

We are actively on the hunt for more spaces to grow into and looking for new opportunities for building leases or partnerships. We have also started working together with other spaces to create more creative spaces in Sydney but more to come on that..

The original site at Redfern will be ongoing but this is the last chance to use this amazing space in Waterloo. We invite anyone with creative ideas in the coming weeks to help send Cope st out with a bang!
