163 Clovelly - a space to gather.

Director Miriam Hechtman has been gathering people for decades. From poetry nights and live music to women’s events and creative workshops - Miriam has always had a knack for bringing people together with warmth, curiosity and wonder.

After many years of hosting events in other people’s spaces, Miriam’s dream of having a room of her own became a reality when she found 163 Clovelly Rd. But the dream was not just for Miriam to host events and workshops - but for others to make the space their own too.

A community of creatives.
