The Arts Centre is the flagship of the performing arts in Victoria. It stands for performance and its iconic spire locates the performing arts at the centre of Melbourne’s civic and cultural precinct.
Comprising the Theatres Building, Hamer Hall and Melbourne’s iconic outdoor performance space, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, the Arts Centre programs a diverse range of performances and events to deliver the best national and international performing arts experience.
It does this by having a performance program which combines the best of Australian performing arts organisations with a broad range of international performances.
These performances are supported by important visual and performing arts collections and a wide-reaching education program which extends the Arts Centre’s reach throughout Victoria and beyond.
The Arts Centre also celebrates artists and fosters creative opportunity, serving as a focal point for the development of imaginative new work and supporting artists to create innovative productions in a vibrant creative environment.
