Frankston Arts Centre, Performing arts venue in Frankston, Australia
The Frankston Arts Centre is a performing arts venue and gallery space in suburban Melbourne that combines theatre, performance studios, and exhibition areas. The main theatre seats 800 people and features a large stage system with advanced technical rigging, while a separate creative studio holds up to 200 for smaller productions and events.
The facility opened in 1995 and underwent expansion in the early 2000s to add more creative and exhibition spaces. Since its launch, it has evolved into a key regional venue for touring shows and community arts programming.
This venue serves as a cultural hub for the outer suburbs, welcoming national touring productions and hosting performances by established orchestras and opera companies. Visitors encounter a working space where different art forms share the same building and stage resources.
The venue is accessible by car or public transport with parking facilities on-site for visitor convenience. Signage throughout the building helps you move easily between the main theatre, studio spaces, and gallery areas.
The building houses a dedicated Glass Studio gallery space that showcases contemporary media art and experimental works often overlooked in suburban venues. This area rotates exhibitions regularly, blending traditional and digital art forms in ways that keep programming fresh and unexpected.
