Clifton School of Arts

CLIFTON SCHOOL OF ARTS

a community building since 1911

The Clifton School of Arts is a thriving, community-based, cultural institution housed in an iconic heritage building superbly positioned just south of the famous Sea Cliff Bridge. The CSA has been owned and operated by the community for over 110 years as a creative, educational, and cultural hub for the Northern Illawarra and beyond

The CSA stands on Dharawal country. We acknowledge the Wodi Wodi people as the traditional custodians of this land. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.

Unique and Beautiful Building

A Great Call!
Holding my exhibition at Clifton was a good call. The space and abundant natural light is perfect for displaying artwork and the audience loved the building.

Flooded with light!
Flooded with light, with that view of the ocean and the escarpment brought the best of the natural world inside and added a bit of drama.

It has Soul
It has a soul, it has a history of people coming together there for reasons of community and art appreciation and I think that vibe makes itself felt down the ages. You don’t get that from a contemporary box in a suburb.
