Established in 2024, Parker Contemporary is a fresh addition to Brisbane's cultural precinct, with a unique and specialised focus on printmaking, papermaking and artists books within contemporary art. Under the guidance of Gallery Director and Founder Emily Parker, Parker Contemporary provides a vital space for dialogue and discovery, ensuring the gallery is an active and ever evolving space for these mediums with an active calendar of exhibitions and events.
From bold and intricate intaglio to ethereal hand made paper, PARKER Contemporary encourages visitors to immerse themselves in the captivating narratives and critical perspectives emerging from Australia's thriving print culture. Their carefully curated collection offers works that not only provide immediate visual appeal but also long-term value, making them a worthwhile investment for collectors attuned to contemporary printmaking's cutting-edge visual language.
Featuring established and emerging artists, primarily based in Queensland, Parker Contemporary fosters dialogue around these evolving practices, expanding the understanding and appreciation of works on and of paper within contemporary art.
Groups can also be catered for with special packages available that include lunch within the Fish Lane Arts Precinct and tours of the Arts Precinct. The gallery space is also available to hire for various corporate needs.
Parker Contemporary is easily accessible by foot, train, bus or City Cat from the Cultural Centre precinct in South Brisbane. There is also parking nearby.
