Adding bling to the weekend 💎

Recently, The Paint Factory not only had the opportunity to stage a variety of engaging Anywhere Festival Brisbane shows but also hosted the BrisStyle Earring Market on the same weekend.

The market was a show in itself with an extensive range of unique, intricate and high quality earrings on display.

How often can people buy earrings and immediately show them off by attending an performance? It would've definitely tested the performers as they competed for the audience's attention 👀.

After a successful earring market, we're set to announce another BrisStyle event in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more information.

An iconic West End bookstore has been transformed into a landmark mural.

Brisbane's beloved Avid Reader Bookshop is now adorned with a masterpiece by renowned proppaNOW artist and Paint Factory resident Vernon Ah Kee. Titled Charcoal Stories, the mural features a mosaic of Brisbane authors' names in his signature bold black and white text.

Thanks to the coordination and curation by Chrysalis Projects' Bec Mac and Carmel A Haugh, this project was funded and supported by members of the community including Arts Queensland and The Paint Factory. This empowered locals to invest in their neighbourhood and revitalise Boundary Street with meaningful public art.

For the escape room enthusiasts, immersive theatre lovers, and gamers, this immersive experience will put their problem-solving skills to the test. "I can see why you call yourself Project Immersive. Playing your game, it was so easy to believe that we WERE a group of contractors coming into this laboratory. There was nothing in your game that pulled us out of this belief. Well done! This is the best escape room I have ever played" - Gale, has played 56 escape rooms. See this transformed space at The Paint Factory for yourself!

The Essence Of Liveability

Nestled along the banks of the Brisbane River, Yeronga is one of the most in-demand suburbs in Brisbane. A unique place that captures the very essence of liveability – and abundance of green space and parks, schools, and hospitals.

Quick access to main roads and a wide offering of public transport along with the proximity to Brisbane City makes this a highly interc***ected suburb. Yeronga is also within close proximity to two major hospitals and two Universities making it a popular suburb for students and hospital workers. A suburb whose face is changing as it becomes more urban and less suburban – with more cafes, restaurants and amenities becoming available in response to locals wanting the trappings that come with a modern lifestyle.

The Paint Factory site is ready to be a part of the vibrant, urban lifestyle that is Yeronga, maintaining the sensitivity to all the things that make Yeronga liveable.

With your support, we can work together to make this vision a reality.
