The new year is a chance to begin a new chapter in your creative practice. Art Antics Community Art Studios could be the perfect place to get started.

We currently have three studio spaces available to rent.
Our studios are called community spaces because they offer more than just a place to work. We have large shared areas where we host collective exhibitions and events, creating a supportive environment where artists can co-create, share ideas, offer feedback, and support one another.

If you are looking for an affordable studio space in Dundee, please get in touch with Lou and book an appointment to come see our studios on our open day, 15th Jan at 4pm.

Thank you to everyone who…

got creative, learned something new, came to play, volunteered, worked late, started early, led a workshop, made a cup of tea, nibbled a biscuit (and sometimes put it back), built the longest marble run, opened the shop, attended a meeting, moved a mannequin, did the dishes, listened to a woe, told an uplifting story, dried an eye, became a friend… or even carried a watermelon!

Every single part you played in ScrapAntics’ weird and wonderful journey of 2025 was noticed - no matter how big or small. We saw you, and we appreciate your part… especially the small things, because they all add up to the big thing.
And the big thing is this: ScrapAntics - the amazing and wonderful world of ScrapAntics.

2026 is going to be even bigger and brighter. If you know about us but haven’t visited yet, come and see us in the new year.

Get involved. Sew a stitch, play a game, volunteer, read to someone, bind a book… who knows what you’ll learn.

But in the meantime, thank you to everyone who made 2025 so special.

Here is the third and final film from our creative evaluation project with the National Literacy Trust!

This heartwarming film features families from the Flourish Group at Dundee International Women’s Centre. It was created by local filmmaker Sarah Smart during a series of workshops facilitated by Caroisma.

Many thanks to all the artists, organisations and families involved in making this gorgeous film, which really highlights the important impacts of the Talk and Play Together programme.

Talk and Play Together is an early years programme from the National Literacy Trust, supported by the University of Dundee. Families with children not yet in nursery take part in six weekly sessions to help build confidence in literacy and promote family wellbeing. Each week focuses on a different tip to promote language development, together with a weekly book and play resources to encourage learning at home.

You can find out more about the organisations and artists involved in this project through their websites;

As part of Adult Learning Week, ScrapAntics is hosting an Open Day on Monday 1st December to showcase the classes and sessions we offer to adults across Dundee.

This year marks 50 years of the Alexander Report, which brought youth work and adult education together under a single concept of community education, later community learning and development.

The session will be led by Louise Buchan from ScrapAntics and Steph Dolan from the Roundhouse in Whitfield, supported by members of the Change & Grow Project, which has been running over the past three months. Work and testimonials highlighting the success of the project will be on display.

Lynne Short, depute convener of Dundee City Council’s neighbourhood, housing and communities committee said: “Adult Learners’ Week is a great opportunity to showcase what is on offer, to connect with people across Dundee and inspire them to take up learning for education and skills.

Louise will also lead a relaxed paper-based craft activity while chatting through some of the sessions we have available, including Women’s Wednesday, FORM, Re/Shape, and Change & Grow.

Please pop in and say hello and find out what we do - we’d love to meet you!
