Polish theatre designer Tomek Koman’s warehouse in Williamstown North has a bit of everything found within its walls.

Following recent successful garage sales, he is set to host another sale at the space this weekend.

The Theatre Research Institute is an art space providing artists, musicians and other creatives with a home to develop their work.

However, Mr Koman has decided it is time to farewell some of his goods in order to keep the space afloat as impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue.

“COVID mangled our operation a little bit,” he said.

“We rely on people renting studios and we’ve lost a few people.

“We are very socially useful.”

The goods on offer include a range of vintage electronics, costumes, props and other bric-a-brac.

The garage sale will be held at 47 Chelmsford Street in Williamstown North on Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31 from 9am to 5pm.
