Incinerator Art Space

Incinerator Art Space is located in an iconic and heritage-listed Walter Burley-Griffin designed building. The interior has been sensitively renovated to create an art space that exhibits a broad range of contemporary art in a semi-industrial environment. Incinerator Art Space offers a hub for showcasing exceptional, innovative and timely visual arts exhibitions. The space is programmed by Willoughby Council and it has fast gained a reputation as a hidden gem for the arts on Sydney’s North Shore. The top floor houses a buzzing café with a view, so you can make a complete day of your visit.
