Open Call: CREATIVE SPACES LAB-14 STUDIO

LAB-14 Residencies for 2017 now open!

LAB-14 is the first phase of the Carlton Connect Initiative, at the former Royal Women’s Hospital site. This space has been designed to foster collaborative research and to facilitate the sharing of this research with the broader community.
