Join Us
The artists and makers at TACAS reclaim and recycle discarded textiles and found objects. We create artworks using household and industrial waste as well as natural materials. We challenge ourselves to find new ways to use what others discard.
Our Heidelberg West studio complex is occupied by artists and makers from a range of disciplines who work together to create a community of like-minded creatives.
We participate in local activities, exhibit and sell members’ work.
Everyone is welcome – artists, makers & community members
