Art classes for everyone

Art Est. is Sydney’s leading independent art school, offering art classes for kids, teens and adults. Our classes are run by practicing and award-winning Australian artists with short courses, weekend workshops and masterclasses for adults, as well as term courses and school holiday workshops for kids and teens.

Art Est is based in Leichhardt, where we have been teaching art for over 15 years with a community of local creatives. Our refurbished warehouse studios have transformed Art Est into a creative art space for painting, drawing, printmaking and ceramics.
