contemporary artists | valuable ideas

Onespace is a Brisbane gallery that presents and sells contemporary art, including work by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.

We curate an exhibition program exploring diverse themes and media.

We show emerging, mid-career and established artists whose works inform, stimulate and challenge.

Onespace welcomes you to engage with the artists and artworks we exhibit.
