ART STARTS HERE - and it starts with YOU. 


Metro Arts is the home of artist development for contemporary and experimental practice in Meanjin-Brisbane.  With a 45+ year legacy backed by our philanthropic community, Metro Arts is where artists take big leaps - starting creative journeys that turn into sustainable careers. 



Across our venues in West End and Norman Park, Metro Arts works with artists from concept to premiere, and beyond - providing artists with the space, support and equipment they need to thrive. When you give to Metro Arts, you're investing in the development of our artists across visual arts, contemporary theatre, dance, screen media, music, and more. Every dollar:
