Metro Arts |
Occupying an iconic 5-storey warehouse, originally named Coronation House, and built for glass, pottery and china imports, Metro Arts is a comprehensive arts venue in the heart of Brisbane's CBD that plays host to a range of activities and people all year round.
Metro Arts exists to ensure new art is created today, tomorrow and beyond. We champion all contemporary art forms (visual and performance) and the creation of thought provoking and exhilarating art.
For over 40 years we have been the incubator and launchpad for some of Australia's finest new artists. We support artists every step of the way - from the early development of ideas through to presenting and touring work. We program diverse works across visual and performing arts - including music, cabaret, comedy, dance, theatre and more...
Ever forwarding Australia's vibrant arts industry, Metro Arts provides much needed space (physically and figuratively) for Australian artists to grow, create, develop, experience and carve out a sustainable and viable arts practice.
