Brisbane Powerhouse
Nestled on the banks of the Brisbane River beside New Farm Park, the Brisbane Powerhouse has become a distinct landmark, both as a stunning industrial creation and as a hub for creative endeavours including theatre, music, comedy, film, visual arts, festivals and ideas. Brisbane Powerhouse opened as an arts centre in 2000 after its 30-year reign as a derelict power station, and has since earned a heritage listing. Bold industrial structures laced with raw textures and preserved graffiti walls combine to create an artistic space boasting a 700-seat stage theatre, intimate 200-seat apron stage theatre, 800 viewer open platform, two restaurants, conference and rehearsal rooms and offices.
