Brissie artists are like spiders, quietly engineering something intricate and beautiful in the city's buzzing hotspots. Their work is captivating, outside-the-square and vibrant... catching many by surprise. Leading international artists are getting caught up now too, re-enforcing Brisbane's growing network of art galleries with wonderful exhibitions.
Just like in a real spider's web, the creative energy of Brisbane's neighbourhood galleries vibrates back to the Cultural Precinct, alerting curators of new talents on the scene. That's why you can't miss the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in South Bank's Cultural Precinct, which showcases the best of the best.
Now you've seen Brisbane's most famous art hub, dart in and out of smaller neighbourhood galleries to see what else is out there. Be careful: there's a real chance of getting hooked.
Everything goes in Fortitude Valley and the CBD, where independent and government-funded art spaces give emerging local talents a chance to shine. Paddington, Bulimba and Spring Hill are other art gallery hot spots. You can go as far as the Scenic Rim and Moreton Bay and still not run out of art galleries to visit.
