Carriageworks is the largest and most significant contemporary multi-arts centre of its kind in Australia.〔In August 2013, the Carriageworks cultural precinct doubled in size, adding 5,000 square metres to its existing premises in Sydney's Redfern.〕 Carriageworks engages artists and audiences with contemporary ideas and issues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.biennaleofsydney.com.au/19bos/venues/carriageworks/ )〕 The program is artist led and emerges from Carriageworks' commitment to reflecting social and cultural diversity. The Carriageworks artistic program is ambitious, risk taking and unrelenting in its support of artists. Carriageworks is a cultural facility of the NSW Government and receives support from Arts NSW and the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts. In 2013 over 400,000 people engaged with Carriageworks programs and in 2014 visitation was on track to rise to 550,000.〔An extraordinary public response to Carriageworks' artistic program saw a doubling of attendances from 2011 to 2012 and doubled attendances again in 2013 to 400,000 people. Minister for Tourism, Major Events and the Arts, George Souris, said the expansion was great news for Sydney's arts and cultural, and events industries with Carriageworks adding 5,000 square metres to its existing premises.〕 The institution has a reputation for presenting large-scale immersive programs.

These arresting buildings are considered one of the best examples of railway workshop complexes and house within them, the history of Australia's major rail network and the thousands of Sydneysiders that worked here during the bustling industrial time of the 19th century. Train carriages for Sydney's expanding rail network were built from scratch and maintained within the building. Carriages built here include the Royal Carriages constructed specifically for the Governor General and visiting Royalty, the very first electric carriage, and the first air-conditioned train in Australia. From 1973 productivity at the site declined due to its inefficient older buildings, restrictive union practices and increased privatization of construction and the site was eventually closed in 1988. In June 2002 the NSW Ministry for the Arts completed the purchase of the Carriage and Blacksmith Workshops at the Eveleigh Rail Yards site. Soon after a construction project on the site commenced under the name of Carriageworks. The vision for Carriageworks being an artistic hub where creative work could be explored, developed, commissioned and presented. Adaptive reuse of the workshop site began in 2003 with the housing of numerous contemporary arts practitioners, and Carriageworks officially opened in 2007. Place is important to the practice of art. Carriageworks is a unique place that's a home and inspiration for the development of creative work. And in a place that allows for creativity, we experience adventure, excitement, growth and learning. More Information:Radio National broadcast a documentary about the history of Eveleigh in 2005.
