Salamanca Arts Centre

Salamanca Arts Centre — Hobart’s heritage arts precinct

Salamanca Arts Centre sits on Salamanca Place in central Hobart, fifty metres from the harbour and the Saturday Salamanca Market. The Centre occupies a row of restored 1830s sandstone warehouses on Hobart’s old waterfront and contains multiple performance spaces, gallery rooms, artist studios and the Peacock Theatre as the principal mainstage. The Centre is a key venue for the Dark Mofo winter festival and for the Mona Foma summer festival, with substantial year-round programming of contemporary theatre, music and visual art.

The rooms

• Peacock Theatre — the principal mainstage performance space.
• Founders Room — used for chamber music and smaller-scale theatre.
• The Long Gallery — exhibition space.
• Multiple artist studios housing the Centre’s resident artist community.
