Brisbane Powerhouse is Arts.
Brisbane Powerhouse is a place for people to experience the arts.
Brisbane Powerhouse presents and creates interesting arts from Australia and the world.
Brisbane Powerhouse is both a producer of contemporary performing arts and a multi-arts, dining and conference venue. Nestled on the beautiful banks of Brisbane River (beside New Farm Park) the former power station has become a distinct landmark, both as a stunning industrial creation and as a hub for everything creative, including theatre, music, comedy, film, visual arts, festivals and ideas.
Owned and supported by Brisbane City Council, 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 recent 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 Rooftop Terrace and a roof on the existing Rooftop Terrace.
Brisbane Powerhouse reopened on 1 June 2007 with its continuing vision to bring the world’s most interesting arts to Brisbane and take the best of Brisbane arts to the world.
Brisbane Powerhouse is not-for-profit organisation owned and supported by the Brisbane City Council.
