Brisbane Powerhouse

Brisbane Powerhouse, a magnificent power station of the 1920s reborn as an arts center on the Brisbane River will be the home for APAM activities, showcases and pitches.

Located in the heart of New Farm and Teneriffe’s historical industrial zone, which originally featured a sugar refinery, gasworks, wharves and wool stores, Brisbane Powerhouse has an organisation-wide commitment to creators of all disciplines.

Brisbane Powerhouse is proud to welcome and present APAM 2014, 2016 and 2018 and looks forward to hosting delegates, artists, companies, stakeholders and partners at this historic unique location.

There are two restauarants located inside Brisbane Powerhouse: Bar Alto on the Turbine Level and WATT Restaurant on the River Level.
