Preview Outer Space’s new premises and bid on artworks by Australian artists, to help raise funds for this exciting new project in Brisbane’s West End.
All funds raised will help open the doors of Outer Space’s three gallery spaces, six artist studios, and community space. The converted warehouse space also boasts an all-ages music program.
Established and early career artists have generously donated their work to be sold to the highest bidder on the night, including:
Robert Andrew; Jordan Azcune; James Barth; Karen Black; Sam Cranstoun; Mitch Donaldson; Julie Fragar; Bridie Gillman; Charlie Hillhouse; Dana Lawrie; Carol McGregor; Kate McKay; Sebastian Moody; Kiah Reading; Monica Rohan; Cosima Scales; Nicola Scott; and Tyza Stewart.
There will also be a raffle boasting exciting prizes from local businesses and galleries.
Bidders and non-bidders alike are welcome to come along to view the artwork, enjoy refreshments, and check out Outer Space’s new home ahead of its transformation.
Outer Space co-director Caity Reynolds spruiked the value of this unique space in Brisbane’s inner city: “Brisbane has needed a space like this for some time, and we’re so excited to be able to do this for the whole community. “Outer Space would not be able to exist without the support of the local art community. We’re excited to have a variety of works from established and emerging artists to be auctioned on the night,” said Reynolds.
Outer Space co-director Llewellyn Millhouse said that the auction is a wonderful way to support the emerging art scene: “Outer Space has been very lucky to receive support from Brisbane City Council to secure the unique warehouse premises in West End. The funds raised from the auction will ensure that we are able to make our exhibition, residency, music and community programs the best they can be,” said Millhouse.
Outer Space Artist Run Initiative is a Brisbane based not-for-profit contemporary art space that promotes education, career development and community engagement within the arts. Since its inception in 2016, Outer Space has endeavoured to promote and support diverse early career and emerging artists. With ongoing support from the Brisbane City Council, Outer Space has expanded to include three gallery spaces, an affordable studio residency program, a regular all-ages live music program, and a community space tailored for alternative avenues of education.
