Join us on a visit to The Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, a cultural facility of the Liverpool City Council on the banks of the Georges River.
Built in 1951 by the NSW Electricity Commission, the Casula Powerhouse was erected to supplement electricity production during Winter and power shortages. The Powerhouse was decommissioned in 1976 and bought by Liverpool Council, but it wasn’t until 1994 that an ambitious development saw the former Powerhouse reimagined as the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre. The Centre now houses an international standard exhibition space; a 322seat state of art theatre; a multi-purpose performance space; artists’ studios; three exhibition spaces and much more, as you will discover.
Following an introduction to the Arts Centre, we will have a guided tour by Ellen Hewitt, Curator of one of the current exhibitions – Liveable Art: Stories of Done Art and Design. This exhibition brings together a large collection of Done designed clothing, accessories, stationery and homewares for a public exhibition. Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre has been working with people across Australia and internationally who have cherished their Ken Done items at home over the years. The stories from these collectors have been captured and will feature in the exhibition, alongside a wide range of Ken Done Art and Design products.
