The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre

The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre is closed

Blacktown City Council is preparing for the next chapter in the story of The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre.

The current Arts Centre at 78 Flushcombe Road Blacktown is located on land that is part of the planned staged development of Blacktown Quarter, a project that will transform Blacktown’s city centre with new public, cultural and commercial spaces.

Walker Corporation has advised Council it will take possession of the site in late January 2026, meaning the arts centre will close following its final program, Sydney Festival 2026 Blacktown Garage Party on 15–16 January 2026.

Council recognises the significance of this change for artists, audiences and partners who have helped make The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre such an important part of Blacktown’s cultural life.
