We are a merry band of travelers, goofballs, & creatives who have been practicing alternative living all over the world.
The CrunchyBar will be a place to socialise, share, connect, & create. We aim to create an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere that blurs the line between a venue and a home. If this sounds like something you’ve been looking for, come down and see what we’re all about.
We realized very quickly it’s important as a mixed-use space to be clear, so I thought it might be useful to share some of what I’ve learned preparing to manage a space that includes hospitality where seating is located in a small gallery (or “public venue”), and shared on-site workspace/studios.

Our team has grown!
Sam was leading a team of about 60 people… in the heart of the Matong State Forest… aka the fucking dessert. I thought they were crazy. And I liked it. - Preston
What drew you to XCHC? … What is your creative edge?
It had all the characteristics of a place I wanted to be.
I like transforming spaces a living organisms. Finding a way to reach the center of all the senses through immersive art.
Tyler first came to XCHC in January after finding us on Stusu, an Airbnb styled platform connecting artists with studio spaces around the world.
“I'll be staying at the XCHC over the next wee while, and working to address some of the controversial ideas in the art world which I feel have been holding me back in my artistic career.”
Artists in residents, cafe/bar patrons, event hosts all have their own unique experiences at XCHC; these are their stories.
“Something about all the creative juices flowing in that space have definitely influenced me into working more on my creative projects” - Ryan | The Good Timeline
