MAVA Substation
A new hub for Australian contemporary visual arts practice.

Located in the iconic heritage-listed former Peters ice cream factory, the Metro Arts Studios are our versatile creative spaces, suitable for a wide range of activities and events.
These spaces are perfect for all occasions, from formal meetings, workshops and presentations. Rehearsals, classes or other physical activities are supported by our semi-sprung vinyl dance floors and full-height mirrors.
Our studios can be utilised as one larger space or two smaller studios with the use of our acoustic-graded operable wall. Both studios feature full-height glazed windows with stunning views overlooking our very own Factory Lane and allow you to bring natural light back into your event or function.
If you need a focused and private environment, the studios also feature full black-out curtains for the entire perimeter of the room.
Both studios are fully air-conditioned and include wifi.
