You’re back, and we’re throwing you a celebration.

Since you’ve been away we’ve been planning the welcome back that you deserve, assembling a crack team of artists to celebrate the occasion.

11 of Melbourne’s most original minds have been given free rein to transform spaces throughout Arts House, and we know you’re going to love what they’ve done to the place.

Saturate yourself in light as lasers explode from a multitude of crystal balls, or enter a space of gentle textiles and performance poetry that will immerse you in the Deaf experience. Join a reading group that leaves the book room in favour of the streets of North Melbourne, or step into Arts House’s smallest space for a sonic encounter that will expand your horizon.

Suitable for all ages and featuring seven boundary-breaking works across the entire building and beyond, Housewarming invites you to rediscover Arts House at your own pace, charting your own way through spaces carefully created for you to discover.

Housewarming includes:

North Melbourne Constellation by Robin Fox

As We Bloom by Irihipeti Waretini and Bella Waru
