Our Story

Opening in November 2018, Craft Services has become a staple for Gallery visitors and the surrounding community. With fresh baking daily, as well as a selection of breakfast and lunch items, the café has exactly what you need to nourish your body after feasting on the incredible artwork on view upstairs in the Galleries

“Craft services” is the centre of a film set’s social scene. The area is the great equalizer. The quality of the spread can make or break the crew’s experience. A good craft services crew is responsible for the physical and mental well-being of the entire set. 

Craft Services is the creative engine for the creative industries, where visual art, food, music, poetry, film, movement and more will intermingle and create transformative experiences.
