FireWorks Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in a renovated concrete warehouse in Bowen Hills, Brisbane. Its exhibitions bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian artists together, with works by established and emerging artists. Look for Aboriginal art, contemporary pieces and installations across a space with a striking double-storey void. The gallery has operated as a commercial gallery since 1993, and exhibitions change regularly, so repeat visits can reveal new work. Exhibition launches are another way to see the gallery in use.
