Fremantle Arts Centre, Heritage building in Fremantle, Australia.
The Fremantle Arts Centre occupies a limestone structure with Gothic architectural elements, featuring tall windows and decorative details throughout its exterior walls.
Constructed in 1861 by convict labor under architect Richard Roach Jewell, the building initially served as the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum until early 1900s.
The centre maintains exhibition galleries, studios for artists in residence, workshop spaces, and a courtyard that hosts outdoor music performances throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the galleries from Tuesday to Sunday, participate in art courses, or purchase local artworks from the gift shop.
The limestone walls contain marks and initials carved by convicts during construction, providing physical evidence of the building's origins in 1861.
