The Cotton Mills

The Cotton Mills is a creative hub housed in a historic 1875 industrial building in Footscray that's been transformed into mixed-use studio and office spaces. It brings together an eclectic mix of visual artists, designers, animators, musicians, photographers, and other creative professionals, plus a florist among its diverse tenant community. The space has deep local heritage, evolving from a jute factory to rubber works to cotton mills before becoming a thriving creative precinct in 2000.
