A bold vision brought to life in the heart of the Inner West, our venue is transforming a former women’s garment factory into a dynamic, inclusive cultural hub for the arts. Fostering creativity, healing, and dignity, this space is designed to bridge the gap between artists, the community, and the local economy.
At its core, the venue is dedicated to providing affordable, flexible spaces that support the creative process. Whether it’s for rehearsal, production, or performance, the venue offers the infrastructure and resources artists need to thrive. With multi-arts fellowships and collaborative spaces, the venue encourages interdisciplinary work, allowing artists to focus on their craft without the burdens of administrative overload. The venue’s adaptable spaces will support diverse art forms, from theatre and dance to music and more, fostering a spirit of innovation and artistic exchange.
For the wider community, the venue offers accessible arts engagement through initiatives like the “Open Doors” program. Artist talks, workshops, and previews will create informal opportunities for the public to connect with artists and experience the creative process firsthand. The venue’s social space, including an event bar, will bring artists and the community together, building connections and enriching the cultural fabric of the area.
The venue is also committed to contributing to the local economy. With a versatile performance space, concert acoustics, and a dance floor, it will enhance the night-time economy, attracting diverse audiences and creating new employment opportunities in the arts, hospitality, and beyond.
Rooted in the core values of The Living Room Theatre, the venue will provide a platform to explore important societal issues such as trauma, violence, and the dignity of women. It will be a safe, supportive space for healing, artistic exploration, and community-building—leaving a lasting legacy that fosters cultural change and inspires future generations.
