The Refinery

Growing and sustaining creative practice and business at the intersection of art, technology, environment and design.

The Refinery

The Refinery is a professional development platform supporting creative practitioners and businesses working at the intersection of art, technology, environment and design.

Through inter-connected program offerings, the objective is to secure and nurture a pipeline of technologically and ecologically engaged creative thinkers positioned to develop their practices for new markets and audiences.

The Refinery was launched in 2019 as a 10 week creative business incubator program through a partnership between Sunshine Coast Council, SunCentral and the MET, and SCCA. In 2023 SCCA took leadership of the program, which has expanded to include artist residencies, short specialist programs, master classes and research and development opportunities.
