Exciting developments at Brisbane Powerhouse

Outdoor cinema, night markets, art installations and performance spaces are coming to the Brisbane Powerhouse.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said Brisbane Powerhouse is one of the city’s greatest cultural assets, and that this investment would deliver more to see and do for residents and visitors.

“We want to ensure this precinct continues to evolve and this new line up of events will support our arts economy and excite art and entertainment seekers,” Cr Schrinner said.

“The Powerhouse is a must-visit destination for tourists as well as a treasure for locals.”

Brisbane Powerhouse CEO/Artistic Director Kate Gould said the introduction of new outdoor events were made possible with the support of Brisbane City Council and the Australian Government’s Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (Rise) Fund.

“We are grateful to Brisbane City Council for backing our vision to revitalise Brisbane Powerhouse and its environs,” Ms Gould said.

“Brisbane Powerhouse will bring art outside, creating a series of external venues for performance, film, and feasting.”
