The Cowwarr Art Space came into being when Carolyn Crossley purchased the old Cowwarr Butter Factory formally the 42 Gallery in November 1992. It took six months of extensive renovations before it opened as the Cowwarr Art Space in June 1993 .  Carolyn was led by her own personal vision to create a highly flexible, inclusive Art Space.   It is through relationships that this vision is achieved.  She created Cowwarr Arts Network Inc. (CAN Inc.) an independent, not for profit, arts organisation, that has continued to evolve to meet the changing needs of both the arts and the local community.  She has developed strong links with local artists, arts organisations, both regional, state and national and has been involved with many arts and tourism forums, panels and focus groups at all levels of government.  When Sculptor Clive Murray-White joined as her partner at the Art Space, in 1996, it created a new dimension with the addition of the Australian Marble Sculpture Studio.
