Choosing the right space to showcase your art is a crucial step towards planning an exhibition. You need to create the right atmosphere to encourage your guests to tap into their creative spirit without overshadowing your collection. It should be just the right size to avoid appearing too empty or too full, and it should also provide refreshments for your guests to enjoy as they browse. Brisbane is home to a great selection of exhibition venues of different shapes, sizes and budget considerations - all you have to do is choose the one that will make your art stand out!
