"We’re excited to see such a support creative hub for musicians and music lovers alike."

Melbourne's already-booming live music scene is set to get yet another boost with the introduction of a new music and arts space in Fitzroy.

Lead by the Australian College of the Arts (COLLARTS), the new campus will feature a dedicated live performance space and seven professional quality recording and rehearsal rooms, as well as a gallery space. 

"The space is custom built in a fantastic music-fuelled area," COLLARTS’ Program Leader for Music Jesse Hooper said.

"Not only do we have some of the best musicians and artists in the country working in our music program, but now we’ve got the very best facilities in which to both work and teach in."

The Workers Club's Pat Delves said the new hub is perfect for musicians and locals alike. 

"It can only mean good things and will benefit both Fitzroy and the music industry," Delves said. 

"We’re looking forward to collaborating with COLLARTS in the future."

The new campus will open its doors for the first time on Monday 30 May, while a day-time public launch party will be held on Saturday, 30 July.
