A crucial creative space for exchange and critique
The Painting studios at the Queensland College of Art and Design South Bank campus are located on level 6 of the Grey Street Studios overlooking the Brisbane River and CBD.
The studios are available to all students studying second and third-year painting courses.
These impressive light-filled spaces combine smaller second year and larger third year studio spaces, as well as a shared teaching space for presentations and discussion.

The space includes:
- Individual studio spaces for second year students
- Shared studio space for second year students
