[{"order": 1, "question": "Are you open right now, and where can I see your exhibitions locally?", "answer": "Butter Factory Studios is based in the historic Old Butter Factory at 10–12 Mount Shadforth Rd, Denmark WA. The building underwent renovations through late 2024, during which exhibitions were hosted at Vancouver Arts Centre (Albany) and the Denmark Community Resource Centre. If you’re planning a visit now, check the website or social channels for the latest opening hours and current exhibition venues before you travel."}, {"order": 2, "question": "Can I buy artworks or gifts while you’re between spaces? Do you offer local pickup or shipping?", "answer": "Yes—works by our resident artists and regional artisans are available to purchase wherever our exhibitions or pop‑ups are held. Purchasing, pickup, and any shipping options may vary by venue and artist, so the quickest path is to speak with the on‑site team during an exhibition or contact us via our website/socials with the piece you’re interested in. Expect a mix of painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, and jewellery."}, {"order": 3, "question": "What makes Butter Factory Studios different from other galleries in the Great Southern?", "answer": "It’s a working creative hub in a heritage building—combining artist studios, a curated gallery, and a gift shop in the Old Butter Factory alongside local favourites like Mrs. Jones café. A collective of around 10 resident artists anchors the program, with regular collaborations and community exhibitions across Denmark and the wider Great Southern. This blend of place, people, and practice makes visits feel personal and distinctly local."}, {"order": 4, "question": "Do you run workshops, and are they suitable for beginners?", "answer": "Workshops are offered across mediums such as drawing, ceramics, and printmaking, and many sessions welcome beginners. Schedules align with exhibitions and the regional arts calendar, so dates and locations can change—especially during venue transitions. To secure a spot, join the mailing list and check announcements on the website or socials for upcoming classes in Denmark or nearby venues."}, {"order": 5, "question": "How can I commission a local artist or discuss a collaboration/exhibition?", "answer": "Start by outlining your idea, budget, timeframe, and preferred medium. Contact the studio through the website or speak with artists at exhibitions; the team can suggest the best resident artist for your brief or introduce you to regional collaborators. If you’re proposing an exhibition, include potential timing and venue preferences (e.g., Denmark‑based spaces or partner venues in the Great Southern) so we can advise on feasibility and next steps."}]
