-Regarding more on Fremantle‬'s historic J Shed, in 2012 the team at Greg James Sculpture Studio Gallery (Unit 2) noticed that it was well time for J Shed to have another restoration to not only help preserve this historic building but to also have the building reflect the diverse artistic activity that lives in the walls of J Shed. Other artists in the shed at the time including [[Directory:J_Shed_Ceramic_Art_Studio|J Shed Art Studio]] in Unit 3 and Fremantle Fine Furniture in unit 4 agreed and the artists of J Shed all pitched in to help bring some life back into J Shed.

Other artists in the shed at the time including [[Directory:J_Shed_Ceramic_Art_Studio|J Shed Art Studio]] in Unit 3 and Fremantle Fine Furniture in unit 4 agreed and the artists of J Shed all pitched in to help bring some life back into J Shed.
 The idea was to make J Shed a living artwork, a large public piece of art for all to enjoy and be drawn to. Proposals were submitted to the city and accepted and the restoration began. Sponsored by Colourific Painting Contractors P / L Bruce Hunt & The Colourific Team, Dulux Paint, Cicerellos Fremantle and the artists of J-Shed; Fremantle Fine Furniture, Peter Zuvela Photography, Jenny Dawson Ceramics and Greg James Sculpture Studio, the work was able to go ahead. Artists and volunteers helped out to sand back, replace glass and paint the J Shed. With each shed door having a different bright colour each studio was painting. Not only has the building been successfully restored but it now also reflects the life within J Shed and the artistic flair that is Fremantle.
