Our programmes engage marginalised and emerging artists through commissions, in partnership with local organisations and colleges, creating unique and impactful experiences with art.
EVENTUALLY EVERYTHING
2025-2026
Eventually Everything draws inspiration from the words of designers Charles and Ray Eames: “Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects…” The project seeks to uncover alternative ways of learning and making, responding to the built environment, rich in history and continuously evolving. As The Pipe Factory building undergoes significant restoration, Eventually Everything connects the past, present and future and invites everybody to actively participate in the evolving narrative through collective storytelling and making.

BARRAS 100
2021-2022
Barras 100 was a yearlong arts and heritage programme celebrating the 100th anniversary of The Barras market. It featured exhibitions, story-gathering events, public talks, and a wide range of creative activities for young people, including filmmaking, creative writing, illustration, drama and performance, songwriting, and opportunities to explore entrepreneurial skills within The Barras market.
In December 2022, we unveiled a permanent exhibition which is on show in The Barras market shed, bordered by Kent Street, Moncur Street and Gibson Street.
