Description

Gasworks is a home for creativity: a vital precinct where people gather for connection, belonging, and to experience the transformative power of art, nature, and culture. 

Located in Albert Park on the former South Melbourne Gas Plant site, Gasworks combines four hectares of parkland with two galleries, two theatres, artist studios, workshops, function spaces, and a café.

Each year, over 100,000 community members engage with creativity through 200 performing arts events, 30 visual art exhibitions, 15 artist studios, 12 farmers’ markets, over 300 classes and workshops, professional development pathways, access to spaces, and family and school holiday programs.  

What's On

Gasworks is home to resident artists who work from studios that were originally workshops for the South Melbourne Gas Works. The artists will have open studios in these former workshops that still retain some original features. We invite everyone to come and see how these old utilitarian buildings have been re-purposed to become places of creativity.

You can also enjoy a series of historical photographs tracing the evolution of Gasworks from the 1880s to the present day.
