PARKER Contemporary is a contemporary art gallery located in South Brisbane's Fish Lane Arts Precinct. Established in 2024 by Emily Parker, with a specialist curatorial focus on printmaking and papermaking, PARKER Contemporary supports artists working across expanded approaches to image, object, process and materiality.
PARKER Contemporary presents a focused program of exhibitions, artist talks, public programs and art fair presentations, representing emerging and established artists whose practices bring fresh perspectives to contemporary art in Australia.
As a commercial gallery, PARKER Contemporary actively places works with private and institutional collections, offering collectors and curators informed guidance in acquiring significant contemporary works. Works by represented artists are held in major national and international collections, and the gallery has exhibited at leading art fairs including Sydney Contemporary and Aotearoa Art Fair.
