The Butter Factory Arts Centre aims to provide a friendly and supportive environment to both new and established artists working in any media. We welcome exhibition proposals from artists, collectives and curators for group or solo exhibitions in a single one, or combination of our gallery spaces.
The split level art centre comprises of four exhibition spaces which can be utilised separately, or as one total space. A ceiling height of up to 6 metres provides ample space for large works. Each downstairs gallery space has good natural light and fixed industrial style LED lights; our upstairs space has LED spotlights on tracks. The Butter Factory Arts Centre has front and back entrances as well as double barn doors which access the Foyer and the Butter Box. The Creamery is accessed by 4 steps down from the Foyer or via the Butter Box; the Mezzanine is accessible by stairs only. The Butter Factory Arts Centre has a small kitchen and bathroom facilities. The Foyer space has outdoor ramp access. The Arts Centre provides a range of wooden plinths of varying dimensions and gallery tracking for wall works, under 10kg.
With new exhibitions opening four to five weeks, we regularly feature solo exhibitions and curated group exhibitions.
Openings at the Butter Factory Arts Centre are usually Friday night or Saturday afternoon.
