The Paint Factory

One man’s vision to create a vibrant and innovative integrated arts precinct and cultural hub that will add value to Brisbane’s arts economy.
A group of red leotard clad performers stand in formation in front of a wall with their faces also covered, but colourful adornments like wigs or bras breaking up the red.

Nestled in the leafy, riverside suburb of Yeronga and located a mere five kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, The Paint Factory has been operating from the former Taubmans site since 2015. Empty warehouses, abandoned offices and the disused paint laboratory sprawl across 6900 square metres set on a 3.5-hectare site. A winding, uneven, hilly concrete pathway meanders through the property and separates these multiple, spacious, light-filled buildings, which are juxtaposed with a verdant landscape and dotted with green, open spaces.

Art sparks my imagination. Uplifts my soul. Without it, I would shrivel up and become dust. An aimless wanderer searching for that next theatre fix, book fix, cinema fix. My first play was cathartic in reconciling my past so that I could be present in the present.
