Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts, Contemporary arts centre in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia
The Judith Wright Centre is an arts centre in Fortitude Valley with performance spaces and galleries spread across multiple floors in a renovated building. The layout combines exhibition areas with stages of varying sizes designed to accommodate different types of performances.
The centre opened in 2001 as part of Queensland's effort to establish dedicated spaces for contemporary arts. Its launch represented a turning point in the city's cultural infrastructure.
The centre showcases works by Queensland artists and provides a platform for dance, music, and theater performances. Visitors encounter both experienced and emerging talents who help shape the city's artistic life.
The centre is open Tuesday to Saturday and sits on Brunswick Street with good public transport links. Parking is available nearby for those arriving by car.
The building's exterior is illuminated nightly from 6 to 11 PM with rotating art projections. These digital displays turn the facade into a moving canvas that changes throughout the evening.
