Emporium Creative Hub is an initiative of Creative Victoria, the state government body dedicated to supporting and developing local creative industries. It is a place for creative practitioners, entrepreneurs and businesses to work, connect, build their skills and expand their networks.
Emporium Creative Hub is a dedicated community space for working and networking, with first class facilities, high speed internet, flexible project spaces and business development programs that support the growth of our local creative industries. As Bendigo’s first coworking space for the creative industries, Emporium Creative Hub is a shared office environment where creatives and entrepreneurs can work, collaborate, develop their skills, grow their business and make valuable contacts.
Combining heritage and contemporary design, Emporium Creative Hub breathes new life into one of Bendigo’s most iconic buildings. Key period features like pressed metal ceilings were retained and updated with a modern fit out that meets the needs of working creatives. Renovations of the site were completed in early 2020, and the coworking space has since been outfitted with chic modern furnishings that are heavily influenced by mid-century design.
The idea behind Emporium Creative Hub extends beyond it being just a coworking office though, and we provide a range of support for the entire creative community. From social events to seminars, workshops and online courses, Emporium Creative Hub provides regular opportunities for professional development, collaboration with fellow creatives, capacity-building and general support for our local creative community here in Bendigo. Emporium Creative Hub is more than just a shared office space. It is a local hub for the entire Bendigo creative community.
