Case Study: Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts achieves streamlined event management and greater booking visibility with Priava

Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts - Customer Case Study

The Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts in Brisbane — a multi-venue arts hub with five distinct hireable spaces and steady utilisation of about 65–70% — needed a modern, easy-to-use system to replace its aging Events Perfect software. The Centre required clear visual charting, simple and intuitive data entry, and stronger reporting so staff could manage complex, high-frequency bookings across multiple floors and services; they selected Priava’s cloud-based venue management solution.

Priava was deployed in late 2013 and became the Centre’s sole booking repository at the start of 2014, providing mobile access, centralised booking records, contract and eventsheet generation, inventory control that prevents equipment overbooking, and customizable report templates. As a result, Priava removed data-entry bottlenecks by enabling more staff to capture detailed event data, improved visibility for weekly planning, reduced internal IT support needs, and now supports long-term bookings (including events secured years in advance) across the Judith Wright Centre.
