Located on the lower floors of a brick nineteenth century building in Flinders Lane, it showcases visual art, independent theatre and live music.[1] An institution that nurtures risk-taking artists, its board includes Julian Burnside QC. The organisation was founded in 2002 by Mary Lou Jelbart OAM, former ABC journalist, Julian Burnside QC, and a group of like-minded supporters who agreed in the early years to support the costs of renting an inner-city venue.[2]
