Located at 7006 Melaleuca Drive in Brookwater, the gallery is more than just a showcase of visual art. It’s a welcoming, purpose-built space designed to bring people together, spark imagination, and support creative journeys for all ages and backgrounds.
The launch follows the overwhelming response to Creative Hearts Co’s six-week pop-up gallery at Orion Springfield Central in December 2024. That trial run drew enthusiastic crowds—from emerging artists and families to schools and community organisations—highlighting the need for a lasting creative hub in the region.
“This isn’t just an art gallery—it’s a place where people can feel seen, heard and valued,” said co-founder Hue Kedge. “Art is the starting point, but what we’re really creating is a space for community, connection, growth and belonging.”
Transformed from a former sales office into a light-filled, boutique gallery, the new venue offers wheelchair access, private parking, a curated feature wall, and calming, thoughtfully designed interiors. Future plans will also see the outdoor space come to life with gardens, seating areas, and creative installations.
Co-founder Sean Ferguson said the space has been designed with intention. “It’s light-filled, inviting, and instantly calming. We’ve shaped it into a place people simply enjoy being in, and we’re only just getting started.”
Beyond exhibitions, the gallery will host workshops, artist talks, creative business events, and accessible programs for schools, grassroots groups and emerging artists. The vision is to build a space that’s as much about participation as it is about presentation.
“We understand how powerful shared experiences can be in bringing people together.” said co-founder Marie Ferguson. “This space is about creating access—giving the community a chance to engage with something new, to connect through hands-on experiences, and to explore creativity in ways they may not have thought possible.”
The project has been made possible with the generous support of Springfield City Group, whose commitment to grassroots initiatives continues to nurture community and culture in the region.
“We’re proud to support Creative Hearts Co as they bring people together through creativity at a local level,” said Dr Richard Eden, Executive General Manager at Springfield City Group.

“Spaces like this play a vital role in nurturing culture, connection and well-being across our region.”
