What’s it all about?

Opening late 2023, Corinne Dany Studios has fast become a hub of creativity and a wonderful art community of 5 artists and an ever growing student body! With workshops, classes, gathering areas and Art Cafe days, it is truly something special for Mittagong and the Highlands!

The Studios are located in Mittagong’s bustling industrial area at the foot of The Gib. Around the corner from the famous Gumnut Patisserie and up the street from Highland Marketplace.

We have ample car spaces and street parking. It is 1.5km from the Mittagong train station. Busses stop on nearby Lyell St and Bowral Rd. There’s even a great art themed B&B opposite the Bowral Rd bus stop for out-of-towners who want to make their next weekend getaway an art retreat!

I can’t wait to welcome you to the studios so you can be a part of this wonderful art resource!

Meet Corinne

Corinne moved to the Highlands over 25 years ago, met a hunky man and has never left! Back in the day, she started a new job painting French provincial furniture (ironically just around the corner in Priestly St), where she met Dave, one of the cabinet makers. The pair have since raised their family in the Highlands and even convinced her parents to move here!

Corinne’s journey to opening up these Mittagong studios has been paved with many other ventures along the way from market stalls, retail shops, gallery exhibitions, artist-in-residencies and photography studios. Now that the kids are older, its time to channel all her experience and skills into one amazing space!
