Newtown School of Arts

The Newtown School of Arts, also known as ‘5 Eliza’, is an original social enterprise with a history commencing in 1899. 5 Eliza operates as a small independent, non-commercialized, not-for-profit entity housed in a heritage building. 5 Eliza works to foster artistic enterprise by providing affordable, cultural infrastructure without the need for government subsidy. The building currently houses four visual-artist studios, flexible incubator spaces and a heritage Ballroom Theatre. The organisation has been developing a comprehensive plan for the adaptive redesign, and expansion of the building and its business model. The plan seeks to double the existing floor plan, quadruple cultural output and support of creative workers, and make the heritage building widely accessible to all.
