Step inside Graft Studios, a brand-new creative space rooted in one of Sandown’s most distinctive historic buildings. Housed within the North Wing of The Old Town Hall on Grafton Street, Graft Studios brings new life to a place once central to civic life, now reimagined as a home for making, thinking and creative exchange.

Visitors are warmly invited to explore this newly opened space. Whether you’re curious about how artists work, interested in the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, enjoy discovering new creative spaces, or are an artist, maker or creative looking for a new studio.

Graft Studios opening offers a chance to see something at its very beginning — a place where creativity is being actively shaped.
