Gasworks Arts Park |
Gasworks Arts Park is a vibrant arts precinct producing a range of high-quality arts programs, workshops and activities for every age, ability, interest and audience.
Situated in Albert Park, Melbourne, on the site of the former South Melbourne Gas Plant, Gasworks is just three kilometres from the CBD and the precinct houses four hectares of park, two theatres, three gallery spaces, a cafe, as well as function and workshop spaces.
Gasworks has sixteen resident visual artists and a small team of staff who work to present an annual program of festivals and events including seasons with some of Melbourne's prominent arts festivals, farmers' markets, classes and workshops, creative and professional development opportunities for artists, children's programming and more. In addition, over 200 performing arts events and 30 visual arts exhibitions are presented in the venue each year.
Gasworks offers a backyard for those who don't have one: its high brick wall shelters the park from traffic noise, creating an urban oasis in an ever more densely populated area.
Gasworks Arts Tour
You can immerse yourself in art and history on the Gasworks Arts Tour, stroll through the galleries and look at the beautiful visual art on the walls or buy a stunning piece of handcrafted jewellery from the Watchman's Cabin.
Alternatively, sip a coffee at the Gasworks Caf©, catch a quality performance in one of our theatres, or walk your dog through the park and enjoy a self guided tour of the parks' rare public art sculptures.
