The Paint Factory is a location made up of many different industrial spaces in Yeronga. In 2023 it hosted many Anywhere Festival Award winning shows and has spaces from intimate inside spaces (The Blue Room) to large indoor and outdoor spaces (The Canning Room Warehouse is approx 1,000 sq metres).

Good parking availability on-site, with commercial vehicle access including loading dock and drive-in possibilities for small trucks and vehicles. Toilets on site in the Canning Room Warehouse space.

On Friday 1, Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 August The Paint Factory will be the Anywhere Hub. We plan to run it in a similar way to 2023 Anywhere Festival and 2024 Anywhere Festival with the additional or a few extra spaces to creator and even bigger buzz of people across the three days.

The spaces are Anywhere style spaces with limited infrastructure to be used “as is” or will require you to bring in infrastructure. For an example of shows held at the venue, head to the Anywhere Festival Facebook page and look up the following shows: Incendiary, Banshee’s Luck, 34 Scenes About The Weather, The Human Centipede Parody Musical. Hysteria, Melancholipedia, Introversion 101, Blow The Men Down

The spaces available from smallest to biggest on The Paint Factory Map (Link) with suggested genre starting points.

Some spaces neighbour each other and will be programmed to ensure noise bleed is minimised from one show / space to another.

There will be some costs but we are keeping it minimised depending on a) seats, equipment, lighting and sound equipment put in place in each space by us and special requirements from different shows. Rehearsal times will be made available in the fortnight leading up to the weekend as part of the cost. Last year it averaged at $120 / performance with smaller self sufficient shows paying less and ones needing additional gear and time being more.
