Metro Arts Theatre is a heritage-listed performing venue in West End offering a contemporary black box with adjustable seating to accommodate up to 120 people. The space provides professional production equipment, air conditioning, and flexible configurations suited to different event types.
The building was originally constructed as a warehouse in 1890 and repurposed as an arts venue in 1976. This transformation marked its shift from commercial storage to a space dedicated to performance and artistic activity.
The venue functions as a gathering place for emerging and experimental artists working across disciplines like theatre, dance, and visual art. It plays an active role in supporting creative expression within the local arts community.
The venue has disabled access and parking available nearby within walking distance of Brisbane's central business district. Visitors are advised to check the event schedule ahead of time to plan arrival and navigation through the space.
The seating can be completely retracted, transforming the space into an open floor within minutes. This flexibility allows the venue to shift from theatre format to workshop space or social events without fixed rows.
