Burnie Arts Centre

Announcement

Work has commenced on the Cultural Precinct redevelopment. The Burnie Arts Centre will remain open, with some changes to the usual operating conditions.

The Burnie Arts & Function Centre, comprises a large multi-functional auditorium, a 370-seat proscenium arch theatre, and five additional function rooms.

The Centre’s entire event space is 1,700 square metres, providing the region with a facility that caters for large undercover expos. The complex has a wide range of high quality audio and visual equipment, including professional lighting, projection, and sound systems – suitable for live performances, conferences and presentations.

As well as serving the local community as an event and performance space, an annual performing arts subscription season is presented throughout the year, featuring a variety of local, Tasmanian, national and international artists.

Since the 1970s, the Burnie Arts & Function Centre has been host to formal events, charity dinners, debutante balls, and more. With an onsite catering service, well-equipped function rooms and facilities, ample parking, and a team of caring professionals, the Burnie Arts & Function Centre is the ideal venue.

Chip In to Burnie's Cultural Precinct Evolution

Submissions are now closed

Thank you to everyone who took the opportunity to Chip In. Many chips were enjoyed, and many chats were had over the last month. More than 160 people from our diverse communities made time to submit their ideas.

The Burnie Cultural Precinct is well on its way to becoming a vibrant, inclusive, and accessible hub for all members of the community.

A change in direction for Burnie’s cultural precinct

Burnie City Council will not proceed with its plan to build a new North West Museum and Art Gallery, and will instead combine its art gallery, museum, and function centre in the one existing location.
