The Blender Studios

Blender Studios is an urban art and fine art studio that has run alongside the urban art movement since its beginnings. Opened in 2001, the Blender Studios has produced some of the most influential artists in Australia. It has been instrumental in setting up the foundations of the Melbourne street art scene and has been part of every genre in the urban art movement in Melbourne. It has also been the base for major street art and fine art festivals, urban re-rejuvenation projects and is the home of the Melbourne Street Art Tours.

Blender is a social space where artists can connect, collaborate and create. It’s a self-sustaining project that puts artists first, and funds itself through social enterprises, creating one of cheapest studio spaces in town. Blender has a high calibre of hard working artists across a variety of mediums. About 80% of the artists at Blender make a living off their art through sales, gallery shows, workshops, various projects and the Melbourne Street Art Tours. Blender is a professional, collaborative and explorative art space that values craftsmanship and artistic research.
