About Roarhouse

Roarhouse is a non-profit, vibrant, socially inclusive live showcase of music, spoken word, poetry and performance arts event presented fortnightly at various venues. Roarhouse, driven by artists and volunteers, supports performance opportunities for our entire community of artists, including those marginalised, disadvantaged and/ or challenged with mental health issues. We at Roarhouse promote awareness for artists in marginalised communities and provide a platform for all artists on which to come together to create, perform, collaborate, network and socialize. This initiative was created by Marjetka in 2006 through association with Port Phillip Council and has now grown to beyond the Port, reaching all of Melbourne as more venues climb on board to provide performance space and opportunity for unsigned artists.

This year we are seeking new venues around Melbourne to hold Roar, as well as having special events that showcase different aspects of our community of artists.
