It’s been a busy few weeks around here 😅 So, in case you’ve missed a few things amongst all the fair chaos… here’s a little "Flourish" appreciation post 🌸🌿

A few beautiful pieces currently hanging as part of our Spring Exhibition... bringing plenty of colour, movement and a little bit of spring energy into the gallery.

We’re open tomorrow (Saturday) 10:30–4:30, and trust us… there’s LOTS to see 👀

Hello September! 🌼☀️

Spring is officially in full force… although Brisbane has apparently looked at the calendar and decided it’s close enough to summer 🥵

With temperatures seriously heating up this weekend, might we suggest somewhere with very good air conditioning and even better walls? 😉

There’s plenty to see at the gallery right now, our Flourish spring exhibition, the latest Little Feature Wall, Jade Thompson’s Brisbane to the Coast solo exhibition, plus lots of new arrivals dotted throughout the gallery.

Escape the heat, come say hello and have a wander this weekend!

Well, hello Spring! ☀️🌊

We’re back in Brisbane after a huge week in Melbourne, and apparently we’ve returned just in time for temperatures to start nudging 30 degrees again this week.

Which has us thinking one thing… beach weather is officially on the horizon 👀

Very convenient timing for Jade Thompson’s "Brisbane to the Coast" exhibition, really.

Jade’s collection takes us from some of our favourite familiar Brisbane spots all the way out to the coastline and right now, this gorgeous little slice of Noosa is looking particularly inviting.

So if you haven’t seen Brisbane to the Coast in person yet, THIS is your weekend! Come wander through the full collection, soak up a little early taste of summer and see Jade’s gorgeous paintings up close while they’re still hanging together.

We’ll see you at the gallery! 💛

And just like that… Melbourne, that’s a wrap! 🥹✨

Four huge days, countless wall reshuffles, aching feet, plenty of laughs and over 300 artworks finding new homes 🤯

We honestly couldn’t be prouder of the incredible collection we brought to the Melbourne Affordable Art Fair Australia this year and, more importantly, of the amazing artists behind every single piece.

Watching so many people stop, connect with a work, fall in love and ultimately take something home is exactly why we love doing these fairs ❤️

A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who visited our stand, chatted with us, followed along from interstate, shared our posts, purchased a piece (or two… or three 👀), and supported our artists over the last four days. It was so lovely to meet people who follow here on Instagram, and have people recognise our Brisbane gallery so easily! 💕

And of course, the biggest thank you to our artists for trusting us with your beautiful work. Over 300 sales is something we are incredibly proud of, and you should be too! 🥂

Don't forget that all of our pieces are available online.
So if there was something you were eyeing off but still needed to think about, we'll sweeten the deal by offering FREE shipping on all orders until 11:59pm Sunday 7th September.
Just enter SHIP-MAAF at checkout 😉
(Please note, they'll be a little delay with shipping out whilst our courier returns from Melbourne).

Now excuse us while we recover from four days of absolute chaos and pure adrenaline… before we start thinking about Sydney 😂✈️

Bring on Day Three! ✨

The last two days of the Melbourne Affordable Art Fair Australia have flown by in an absolute blur... and if it wasn’t for my aching feet, I’m not sure I’d believe we’ve already made it this far 😂

After another fabulous day yesterday, there are definitely a few reshuffles happening on the walls this morning 👀 Lots of red dots, lots of new works coming out, and plenty more still to discover.

We’re officially into the weekend, come find us at F1, say hello and see what’s made it onto the walls for Day Three! ❤️
