Arts House develops, produces and presents dynamic cultural experiences which enable people to make meaningful connections on a local, national and international level.
Presented across two sites, Arts House, North Melbourne Town Hall and Arts House, Meat Market, the Arts House program values arts and culture that can help create a world where people are actively engaged, aware and willing to participate, politically and culturally, to make change.
Arts House acknowledges and respects the customs and traditions of Indigenous Australians and their special relationship with the land. The artists and organisers respectfully acknowledge that this program takes place on the land of the traditional owners of the Kulin Nation.
Arts House is a City of Melbourne contemporary arts initiative. Each year Arts House presents a curated program of contemporary art featuring performances, exhibitions, live art, installations and cultural events which are programmed to inspire dynamic community engagement.
Arts House is realised across two North Melbourne venues:
Arts House, North Melbourne Town Hall, which features flexible performance spaces, rehearsal rooms, office and administrative infrastructure at 521 Queensberry Street; and the recently refurbished Arts House, Meat Market at 5 Blackwood Street, which offers creative development space, two galleries, conference centre and office spaces.
