    Good arts centre, the main performing hall is a good size and because the chairs are movable it helps with social distancing if need be. The security are very professional and helpful. My one criticism is how small the bathrooms are. The women's bathroom had a line of 20 people during the intermission despite the men's being almost empty. Overall a great place though

    My favourite memory of Judith Wright Centre was when I was given the opportunity to meet and photograph Archie Roach. I picked him, his manager, and his niece up from the hotel where they were staying and offered them a ride up to the Judith Wright Centre, where he was playing, in my 1991 Ford EA Falcon station waggon. I parked out the front of the venue, and my car stalled, which, in my opinion, would not have made a good first impression. I went to park my car and then met them again. I had about 4 minutes to photograph him and then we watched them play a few songs. He was very down to earth, and I am still grateful that he allowed me to photograph him.

    This show is a MUST SEE! Authentic Flamenco was the most spectacular, awe inspiring dance and musical event I’ve seen. The staff, seating and venue were outstanding. I’d attend another show here in a heartbeat. Thank you Fever for offering this incredible event and choosing Judith Wright Arts Centre as the venue! Well done everyone! Thank you 🤩

    I bought two tickets in advance to the show called “Flamingo” as a surprise for our 42nd wedding anniversary. It was the best thing I’ve done in my life. The show was an absolute success, unbelievable, colourful, with great dancing and excitement. Fantastic voices and guitarists The venue has lovely comfortable seats and friendly ushers.

    A nice gallery to stroll through once in a while (and come back when you have more time). Thought provoking art helps broadening one's insight. The store always has something that'll catch your attention.

    great place to host events

  • 5/5 Ryd J. 7 years ago on Google
    Great venue! Parking is opposite and they validate tickets there so you can get cheaper rates. They always put on interesting shows and help build the community of independent dance/theatre artists.

  • 5/5 Ambrose K. 7 years ago on Google
    Awesome place to see shows! It always has a great and wide selection of performances. They have a bar and a few performance spaces. Be sure to check out the workshops and classes that are available on the upper levels too, including circus and physical theatre.

    Excellent venue. Convenient parking across the road. Kylie Gilbert-Moore speaking with Peter Greste for the Brisbane Writer's Festival 2022. Well organised and run event.

    I attended an aerial class with CIRCA, it was my first time at the Judith Wright Centre and the building is beautiful and the diverse programs they run is inspiring.

    Great venue, not a lot of parking though.

  • 4/5 Natasha H. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely to be back after it was closed for a revamp lots of rooms to explore in the gallery space and live dance/theatre upstairs. The revamp looks great much brighter space

    Saw a great performance. Small theatre, friendly staff and good atmosphere.

  • 5/5 robert w. 3 years ago on Google
    Recently renovated by funding from State Government will be a very popular venue

  • 4/5 Natania 2 years ago on Google
    Recently went to view the Yhonnie Scarce 'Missile Park' exhibition, a real privilege in COVID times. The work was beautifully hung and installed with major pieces available to view. Unfortunately we entered from a side access and were left wondering around trying to find the exhibit. Poor signage but helpful staff. An amazing building with many facets. A viewing of 'Maralinga Tjarutja' the 2020 documentary in the screening room was beautifully intimate with a staff member that made the whole experience wonderful.
