Brisbane’s art scene is ready for a refresh, with the Schrinner Council’s latest Outdoor Gallery exhibition making the city’s hidden spaces even better.
Paradise Gloss will transform laneways, streets, lightboxes and carparks into vibrant exhibitions that explore creativity and play.
Now in its 11th year, the free program spans Brisbane’s favourite lifestyle precincts and central spaces like Fish Lane, King George Square Car Park, Heritage Lanes, Howard Smith Wharves and the Museum of Brisbane foyer.
Curated by Brisbane local Laura Brinin, the new exhibition includes works from 14 artists across multiple disciplines.
Rachel Burke, Bonnie Hislop, Sunday Jemmott, Jessica Nothdurft, Frances Powell and Susan Lincoln are just some of the local talent featured, along with many other Australian creatives.
Paradise Gloss is on display from Friday 14 June to Sunday 3 November.
