If you’re a Sydney creative seeing this...there’s under 2 weeks to apply for the M.PWR Series. Last year, we launched the M.PWR Series, a program offering free venue hire for artists and creatives to exhibit their work. Fashion runways with local designers, supper clubs, wellness days, art exhibitions, dance parties, sound baths…these were just some of the events that transformed both spaces within Machine Hall — Main Hall and VAULT, our intimate underground spaces. With applications closing in just under 2 weeks, we’re looking for creatives with ideas itching to be realised, concepts ready to be brought to life, or bodies of work waiting for that perfect space If that sounds like you, we want you to apply for the M.PWR Series. Applications are linked in our bio and on our website. Closing 5PM, 18 May. Any questions? DM us.

The M.PWR Series waives venue hire for creatives, now is the time for THAT idea… Across both intimate and extravagant spaces, Machine Hall and Vault become entirely yours to curate. Fashion runways, wellness events, supper clubs, dance parties, sound baths, album launches, art exhibitions, and performance art…the only limits are the ones you create. We’re excited to hear your ideas ☺️ Last year, we launched the M.PWR Series, with over 100 creatives activating Machine Hall across 26 events. It’s a program designed to tackle access barriers for Sydney creatives by waiving venue hire fees. Machine Hall is a 500 person space with 12.5m high ceilings across a mezzanine and ground floor. Whilst VAULT, is its alter ego. Intimate and underground, boasting 120 person capacity. M.PWR Series 2 applications are now officially open until 5PM on the 18th of May. Welcoming a new wave of creatives and their ideas into Machine Hall. If you have any questions, please DM us or email [email protected]. Applications can be found linked in bio or on our Machine Hall website!

Productive insomnia…nocturnal sound, socialising and play. The M.PWR Series welcomed, Radio Insomnia.  @radioinsomnia.fm , curated by Anabel Lacroix, saw a mixture of live ambient curations through to vibrant performance art in the Main Hall. Drawing on radio as a medium with its qualities for fostering social relations, and night-time as an intimate space for listening, they aimed at developing radiophonic devices for night communities. Radio performed as art, broadcasted internationally - an invitation to listen with insomnia, rather than against it, for productivity. Thankyou to @radioinsomnia.fm . A great concept explored through intimacy of night. Thanks to the artists! @corin.ileto   @peter_lenaerts @boymichaellovesyou   Gail Priest Moss Hopkins  📸 @byron_martin_

We’re opening our doors once again to Sydney’s artists and creatives for M.PWR Series 2. Applications are now live via our website and bio. Whether you’re a chef, dancer, musician, artist, yogi, orchestra or party collective…the M.PWR Series waives venue hire for grassroots creatives to bring their ideas to life across both Machine Hall and Vault. Last year, the series welcomed over 100 creatives, spanning supper clubs, dance parties, film premieres, exhibitions and runways. Each designed to address one key challenge so common to Sydney creatives…access. From intimate concepts to large-scale productions, no idea is too big or too small for Machine Hall. Now, M.PWR Series returns for its second year. If you’ve been sitting on a concept, or keep talking about an idea, or know how to bring the community together…we want to hear from you. Applications close 5PM, 18th May. For questions, DM us or email [email protected]

For Khanh & Mick, at the iconic Machine Hall ~ From a moss-lined mezzanine ceremony framed by sculptural, ikebana-inspired florals to moments designed to surprise at every turn - a live tuna carving, a traditional tea ceremony, and a vibrant dragon dance to open the night. Guests gathered over a shared four-course Chinese banquet, a reflection of Khanh & Mick’s love for food, travel, and connection. Thoughtful details echoed throughout - textured tablescapes, custom chopstick holders, and subtle nods to where it all began: Sydney International Airport. The night builds to a special performance by @thisisowleyes ,before drifting into the Vault for the final landing. Together with ~ @benjaminsowry @auburnhour_films @machinehall @eventsbybex @colourblind_studio @oliverthomsoncelebrancy @silverpearlevents @wellstonefish @thisisowleyes @harvey.m_ @beatkitchenrecords @norwestproductions_ @simply.seated @smadadesignandprint @roserylux.makeup @hairbynhidao

CALLING ALL SYDNEY ARTISTS & CREATIVES! M.PWR Series is back for another year… The M.PWR Series is a creative program that waives venue hire for grassroots artists to perform in Machine Hall. Applications are now open on our website, and we can’t wait to hear your ideas! In 2025, the M.PWR Series responded to a clear need for Sydney’s up-and-coming creatives. While ideas are abundant, access and support are often not…. Created by the team behind Machine Hall, the M.PWR Series lowers the barrier to entry for creatives by removing venue hire fees for both Machine Hall and Vault spaces. Now, the program returns for Series 2, with applications officially open. Whether you’re a musician, art collective, chef, run club, acrobat, wellness group, or have a passion project that aims to bring the community together, we want to hear it, and Sydney NEEDS to see it. Applications are officially open and can be found on the Machine Hall website and our Instagram bio. Applications close 5PM, 18th of May.

Heritage substation meets the future of commerce, welcome @shopify …🛍️ Machine Hall went green as we welcomed Shopify for Shopify Connect.  70+ merchants gathered for an afternoon of ideas, connection, and hands-on brand experiences, all exploring how to move from awareness to action in an AI-driven landscape. From a POS-powered swag checkout to an AI headshot booth, keynote sessions, and a dynamic panel of industry voices, the space was reimagined at every turn. Brought to life in collaboration with @ourfriendselectric thankyou for activating in the Machine!
