Art Starts Here
Metro Arts Official 2025 Program is packed with brand new performances and exhibitions from some of Australia’s boldest creatives, both established and emerging.
On Performance
“In 2025, we’re deepening our commitment to performance that matters: work that meets the world with urgency and imagination, and that charts its own course — aesthetically and socially. We invest in people, champion creative risk, and build the conditions for long-term artistic and cultural impact.”
– Benjamin Knapton, Artistic Associate (Performance)
On Visual Arts
“We see these residencies as a significant opportunity for artists to extend, expand, and enhance their current practices. The combination of dedicated studio space, access to our workshop and financial support is critical in enabling the continued growth of any arts sector. I am thrilled to work alongside them and provide support as they push the boundaries of their arts practice.”
– Daniel Clifford, Artistic Associate (Visual Arts)
Our cover star is Buddy Malbasias with Bahala/o our final performance of the year. Bahala/o is a playful, thought-provoking dive into what it means to live between worlds, examining Malbasias’ identity as a queer immigrant Filipino. This photo was taken by Georgia Haupt during Backbone Festival 2024.
