It will be an extension of the Dusty that people already know now, but will be able to hold a lot more humans, host bigger different events such as art exhibitions, private parties, weddings, long table dinners, theatre, you name it… imagination is the limit really.įrom live music to poetry and comedy, you feature an incredible range of performers – what exciting shows do you have coming up? It just feels like a music venue and a space that wants people to collect within its walls. It is a really inspiring space and the reason that we chose this building. It is a long mix levelled mezzanine space which drops jaws whenever people first see it. The rear of Dusty is a big old warehouse which has had many lives, from being a workshop to a white goods up-cycle centre, originating from being a coach line depot and service centre for the rural bus service. You have the community backing your venue expansion, can you tell us more about your vision for the space? A room full of happy humans, laughing, sharing food and experiences. Watching them be celebrated by an appreciative room full of humans who just ‘get it’ and are participating in the fundamental life blood of being a happy healthy human, social connectivity. When I watch mates or community members showcase their craft and witness moments of growth and joy from them following their truths. Moments of ohhhhh ship, how am I going to pay rent this week to WHOA PINCH ME! Did that really happen? Highlights have been when artists I have ‘grown up on’ approach me to host gigs for them. ![]() The Dusty Attic will have opened its doors one year ago this September, congratulations! What have been some of your highlights over the past year? The Dusty Attic is a recipient in the Music Now: Contemporary Live Music Funding Program. The unique space, filled with inviting vintage couches and enticing smells of locally sourced food, holds major potential to expand into a larger creative hub opening its doors to greater audiences and possibilities. This popular music lounge, creating opportunities for performers as well as cultural community engagement, has really got the town (and beyond) talking and is one to watch in the growing arts and culture scene in the Northern Rivers. We recently caught up with Kate Stroud, Director and ‘Vibe Marshal’, at The Dusty Attic in Lismore.
