FireWorks Gallery

FireWorks Gallery is a Brisbane contemporary art gallery with a long-standing focus on presenting the work of Australian artists, including both Indigenous and non-Indigenous practitioners. Established in 1993, it develops exhibitions, collections and collaborative projects, and also works with private and corporate collectors. Its program is suited to visitors who want to spend time with contemporary art in an exhibition setting, as well as collectors exploring established and emerging artists.

The gallery’s website lists FIRE! Works on Paper #1 from 9 June to 18 July 2026. The exhibition brings together Rover Thomas, Tommy Watson, Jennifer Herd and Milan Milojevic, using the broad category of works on paper to explore different approaches to printmaking and image-making. Screenprinting, etching, archival inkjet printing and digital collage are represented, showing how varied the medium can be. The exhibition places the work of two significant late desert painters alongside the contemporary practices of Jennifer Herd and Milan Milojevic, with storytelling forming a shared thread across the artists.

Works listed for the exhibition include prints by Rover Thomas and Tommy Watson, editions by Jennifer Herd, and multi-panel series by Milan Milojevic. The gallery also maintains a dedicated Works on Paper Room, described as a continually changing selection of prints and editions by Australian and international artists. This makes FireWorks a useful destination for visitors interested in printmaking, editions and the relationship between an artist’s broader practice and their work on paper.

The venue occupies a renovated concrete warehouse in Brisbane’s inner city, with a double-storey void and large open stockrooms. Those spaces hold paintings, sculpture, installations, works on paper and new media, giving the gallery a substantial setting for both exhibitions and browsing. FireWorks grew from the Campfire Group’s consultancy and collaborative projects, and its director, Michael Eather, continues to shape a curatorial approach that presents Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists alongside one another. It is best suited to solo visitors, couples and small groups looking for a focused gallery visit, particularly those interested in contemporary Australian art and Indigenous artistic practices.
