Community thrives at the intersection of culture and connection, and few actions capture that essence as well as a cultural program.
As a Friend of Calile, you’re not just part of a hotel program; you’re part of a network that celebrates art, ideas, and experiences. From exclusive perks to priority access, your membership unlocks more than benefits; it opens doors to the city’s most vibrant cultural happenings.
It is for that reason that our latest Friends of Calile Cultural community member is Brisbane Powerhouse (BPH). Set inside a repurposed 1920s power station on the river at New Farm, BPH is Queensland’s home for contemporary culture. With its post-industrial aesthetic, bars and restaurants, and a calendar packed with over 1,000 events each year, it is the go-to spot for anyone who seeks a meeting ground for imagination and connection.
This January, Brisbane Powerhouse launches Swingers – The Art of Mini Golf. Mini golf itself was born of rebellion, invented by women in the 19th century who were banned from “real” golf courses but refused to sit on the sidelines. This exhibition celebrates that spirit by turning the game into an art form, and Friends of Calile staying in January and February can enjoy a round with an exclusive bonus benefit. Nine holes, nine fearless artists, and a whole lot of creativity packed into one interactive experience. From Miranda July’s quirky vision to Kaylene Whiskey’s pop-culture mashups and Saeborg’s latex creatures, every hole tells a story that flips tradition on its head.
