Art galleries in Brisbane

Galleries are best taken slowly. Brisbane, QLD has 36 mapped right now. That's 36 galleries mapped around Brisbane. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Opening nights are the cheat code — free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that actually wants to talk about the work.

This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Brisbane (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Richard Randall Art Studio and Woolloongabba Art Gallery, plus Mani Tribe's Gallery. If a gallery's missing from Brisbane's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

9 have websites listed. That's where the current exhibition is announced — the one thing worth checking before you visit.

There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on Stanley Place, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.

Gallery tips for Brisbane

A few things worth knowing before you work through Brisbane's art galleries:

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Brisbane — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Brisbane can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 36 that's closed, or a great art gallery we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 36 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.

Art gallery listings for Brisbane: 36 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
