Casula Powerhouse

Casula Powerhouse is a multi-arts facility tucked away in Casula, overlooking the banks of George’s River (sometimes called the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre).

What was once a power station in the 1950s has been creatively designed to create a vibrant art space.

This centre boasts two artist studios, several permanent public artworks, and six beautiful galleries that showcase changing exhibitions annually. In addition to this, the condition-controlled storage facilities are home to a collection of over 30,000, and it is easy to see why this powerhouse is an integral part of Sydney’s art scene.

In addition to the facilities mentioned above, the centre is home to a 300+ seat theatre that includes full seasons with some of the country’s most popular production companies. This holistic approach to art emphasises the centre’s virtues of providing artwork that speaks to the community. There are also a couple of artist residences on location.

Depending on the time of your visit, look out for the different exhibitions, events and educational programs covering various art and subjects. There are also outreach projects intending to spread the centre’s impact. You may also be interested in catching up with a host of local performance groups for an exciting show.

One fascinating thing about the Casula Powerhouse is its expansive green open spaces, which add a natural element to all the art forms on site. The Weaving Garden is a favourite spot for a good reason, as nature’s beauty allows for a sense of serenity and tranquillity. Aside from that, there are also 20 hectares of parklands for art lovers and nature enthusiasts.

Casula Powerhouse is easily accessible by public transport using a train to Casula Station on the T2 Inner West and South Line. For those driving, there is free onsite parking. The arts facility remains open from 10am to 5pm daily and is closed on public holidays.
