STUDIO SELF ASSESSMENTS

In order to conduct a safe and cohesive Open Studios Sunshine Coast (OSSC), we need to ensure all studios comply with safety standards and protect the safety of visitors.

Therefore we require all participating artists to complete the checklist below, and in the case of non compliance please let us know of any issues you may think might put visitors at risk. Together we will then assess the issue/s more closely with you, and endeavour to rectify them.

Once registered, we will request a visit with you at a mutually beneficial time to conduct a full safety assessment.
