Frankston Arts Centre, Performing arts venue in Frankston, Australia
The Frankston Arts Centre is a performing arts venue and gallery space in Frankston, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. It brings together a main theatre, a smaller creative studio, and dedicated exhibition areas within a single building.
The Frankston Arts Centre was opened on 20 May 1995 by then Prime Minister Paul Keating. Its adjoining creative space, Cube37, was opened on 30 March 2001 by Prime Minister John Howard as part of the centenary of Australia's federation. Cube37 added a flexible studio seating up to 200, a wet studio, media suites and two exhibition galleries.
The centre brings national touring productions and performances by established orchestras and opera companies to the outer suburbs of Melbourne. Visitors find a working space where theatre, music, and visual art share the same building.
The centre can be reached by car or public transport, and there is parking on site. Clear signage inside helps you move between the main theatre, studio spaces, and gallery areas without difficulty.
Cube37, the centre's creative annexe, was opened by Prime Minister John Howard on 30 March 2001, timed to the centenary of Australian federation. Its Glass Studio is a glass-fronted exhibition space facing the street, where a new media art programme runs through the year alongside workshops and youth arts projects.
