Moores Building art space
Located in Fremantle’s historic west end, the Moores Building Art Space (MBAS) consists of galleries and studios, with regular visual arts exhibitions, workshops and performances.
Managed and curated by Fremantle Arts Centre MBAS seeks to promote a wide range of emerging and established contemporary artists by actively fostering the development of an experimental and highly innovative exhibition program. The gallery’s unique architectural design offers artists the opportunity to develop site specific installations. The building is a raw and rustic space with open ceiling cavities and inimitable heritage features.
