Alarming Art is a community art space located at the old Croydon fire station. Monkami Centre has established Alarming Art to enable the Monkami artists, and the community to come together to explore art, self- expression and creativity.

Currently there are open art classes running on Wednesday and Friday where the community can come along and share their art, work on art pieces and be guided by Artist in Residence Glenn Scolyer. There are rooms available for hire and an exhibition area for art displays.

Alarming Art consist of three buildings. Art in all its forms is running in the main building and the Monkami Op Shop Plus is located in the second building. The third building has been renamed the” Head in The Clouds Studio” and is the studio space for several local artists who have moved their art practices to Alarming Art.

Alarming Art has received funding from Maroondah City Council to establish three community art projects in the local area. These will take place between local schools and Alarming Art resulting in the development of creative pieces for exhibition and the broadening of community understanding and awareness.

In addition, Alarming Art is also  running monthly art and craft markets for the local community to enjoy. We have lots of interesting homemade items including cards, jewellery, wood products, paintings and more. The dates for the remainder of the year are Saturday November 12^th and December 10^th from 10am – 3pm.
