About Brisbane Powerhouse
Brisbane Powerhouse is a contemporary performing arts venue nestled on the beautiful banks of Brisbane River beside New Farm Park. The former power station has become a distinct Brisbane landmark, both as a stunning industrial creation and as a hub for everything creative, including theatre, music, comedy, film, visual arts, festivals and ideas.
Funded by Brisbane City Council (BCC), Brisbane Powerhouse opened as an arts centre in 2000 after its 30-year reign as a derelict power station. Bold industrial structures laced with European flair, raw textures and preserved graffiti walls combine to create the perfect artistic space and have earned the building a heritage listing.
The refurbishment in early 2007 ensures a holistic arts and dining experience with additions including a new café bar, a reconfigured Turbine Platform to constitute a concert stage, a reconfiguration of the Powerhouse Theatre, an additional functions spaces.
The Brisbane Powerhouse team strives to bring the world’s finest arts to Brisbane and take the best of Brisbane arts to Australia and the world.
