It opened as the Midland Junction Technical School 1904. During 1909, the school extended its curriculum and art classes were introduced. The first of many exhibitions was held at the end of that year with the Midland Junction Municipal Council donating two guineas as prizes.

Many locals have studied in the venue, either as school students or studying visual arts at TAFE. We would love to hear from you if you have any stories or photos, or would like to look around. We are particularly curious about the sketch of a man on one of the internal walls. This image will soon be uploaded to this website in the hope that someone can identify the subject!
