Canvas House

For those looking for the less ordinary – Canvas House is a venue like no other. In the heart of South Melbourne lies one of Melbourne’s most exciting event spaces, Canvas House.

Loft-like, with exposed brick walls and beams, black steel frame inspired doors and windows, Canvas House is the ideal contemporary alternative to the customary event space. Its design is noticeably inspired by the way we live, making it a warm and welcoming space from the moment you walk through the front doors. Equipped with modern day technology, yet staying true to its architectural integrity, the space lends itself to limitless opportunities.

Have a particular caterer in mind? No problem. We want you to feel at home at Canvas House which is why you can bring in your own suppliers and caterers, who can utilise our full range of equipment that we have on site. As you can imagine we have also worked with some of the best in the industry so if you would like some recommendations, we would love to help.

Or maybe you are thinking about food trucks, or something a little different to the norm. Too easy. Our doors from the courtyard fold back neatly so it is easy to drive in vehicles from the rear laneway.

With your venue hire you have access to our range of furniture, crockery, glassware and styling items which means there is not much you need to bring onsite – it’s all here for you and your vision!

Having worked in the advertising and marketing field for over 2 decades, our Director Nash Ingram has sat through her fair share of events and conferences. Tired of what was being offered – cold, uninspiring and soulless rooms that hindered creative thinking and natural interaction, Nash realised there was a need for a space that was beautifully authentic, genuine and one that encouraged openness. Taking the brave leap out of the security of the corporate world Nash embarked on an incredible journey.

After 12 months of searching, she came across the space that is now called Canvas House. Not afraid of hard work Nash was on the tools alongside the builders ensuring that no stone was left unturned and that her vision for the space came to life. Six months later Canvas House was launched and has quickly become one of Melbourne hottest venues.
