Traditional Land Owners: Gameygal people of the Eora nation 

Shopfront – a not-for-profit arts and performance centre – was badly in need of an upgrade. Its young people and emerging artists come together to express themselves, share their creativity and learn as a community. Finding inspiration in their energy, resilience and resourcefulness, the renovation reinvented the space on a shoestring budget, embracing lean super-functionality to remix it for smarter use.

With new dance and recording studios, rehearsal rooms, a rooftop breakout space and community outreach facilities for homeless youth, it allows Shopfront to do more of its mission while improving staff facilities and key infrastructure to make the building compliant, safe and fully accessible.
