Our team went on a super special excursion to the folks at Schoolhouse Studios in Coburg to learn more about the spaces, ethos and artists that inhibit this former supermarket space! 🛒 We spoke with Director Bron Belcher along with residents Ashley, Rhys and Mae to hear first hand the importance and impact of places like this in Naarm/Melbourne's art ecology.  Art Smitten airs Mondays 3-5pm on SYN 90.7fm @schoolhouse_studios   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
