Machine Hall’s M.PWR Series was created to provide local grassroots artists the grand stage of Machine Hall, without venue hire, to showcase their creativity.

Whether a musician, a band, a performer, an art collective, an aerial acrobat, a chef, a dance group, an event producer, a fashionista, or even a burning passion project…the M.PWR series was created to shine a light on the incredibly ideas that circulate within the grassroots creative community.

Our 2025 M.PWR Artist Schedule will be released on the 30th July - 5:30pm.

OUR SPACE, YOUR VISION

At Machine Hall, we live and breathe art, creativity, and the vibrant culture they inspire. Our mission is to uplift and empower the next generation of visionaries by creating opportunities for them to showcase their talents and tell their stories. That is why we have waived venue hire. We understand that for grassroots creatives, stepping into the spotlight can often feel out of reach. That’s why we’re here—to provide a platform where their ideas and craft can be showcased withing our walls.

FAQ's

  • Grassroots creatives are individuals, collectives, or cultural initiatives dedicated to producing creative work across a wide range of disciplines, including (but not limited to) art, music, writing, design, fashion, and other forms of expression. These emerging talents are often community-driven, operating outside mainstream or commercial channels.

    The term embodies a DIY (do-it-yourself) ethos, where creativity is fueled by personal passion, shared community values, or the desire to drive social change—free from the influence of corporate agendas or mass-market demands.

  • Originality: How does your voice, perspective, or story shine through your art, performance, or event in a way that feels fresh, unique, and authentic?

    Innovation: How does your idea challenge norms or push boundaries within your field? Does it introduce new methods, concepts, or perspectives that inspire progress or spark curiosity?

    Community Value: How does your participation in the M.PWR Series promote positivity, inclusivity, and a sense of connection? Does it offer the community a chance to reflect, grow, celebrate, or find inspiration?
