Arthur Art Bar

Arthur Art Bar is an Adelaide CBD events venue centred on creative experiences and a changing programme of cultural activity. Its website describes a mix of live music, art exhibitions, festivals and more intimate performances, making it a place to check for something different rather than a venue built around one fixed format.

The venue’s approach is summed up by its belief that culture should be experienced, not simply observed. That suggests an events-led setting where the programme is the main reason to visit, whether you are interested in music, visual art or smaller-scale performances. With events ranging from larger festivals to intimate presentations, the experience can vary considerably from one visit to the next.

Arthur is currently relaunching with a new website and more events, so the “What’s On” listing is the best source for current details. It may suit locals and visitors looking to explore Adelaide’s arts and entertainment scene, as well as anyone planning an evening around a particular performance or exhibition. The site also includes an online shop, but the venue’s central focus is its programme of live and visual arts events.
