Show your support for NORPA's mission to transform a historic factory into The Joinery – a flood-resilient cultural hub that will drive recovery, resilience and artistic growth for Lismore and the Northern Rivers community.

NORPA is working to create The Joinery, a permanent home in the heart of Lismore that will serve as a world-class performing arts space and as a beacon of renewal for the entire Northern Rivers. After the devastating floods of 2022, NORPA’s vision is to transform the historic Hampton & Larsson timber factory into a flood-resilient, climate-adaptive cultural hub, embodying the resilience and creativity of our community.

This project is more than a theatre – it’s a commitment to our region’s recovery and growth. By supporting this vision, you’ll help secure a space that fosters innovative theatre-making, nurtures emerging talent and strengthens community connections. The Joinery will also serve as a dynamic incubator for creativity, hosting resident artists from across Australia and beyond, fostering collaborations and supporting independent artists and community-driven projects.

Join our petition to help NORPA build this lighthouse of creativity, resilience and innovation for the Northern Rivers. Together, let’s shape a future where the arts lead community recovery, elevate diverse voices, and inspire resilience in the face of adversity.
